Why to hog ring pig's noses?

Have had issues with low litter count so I decided to do the final transition on my farm in bringing them over to pasture. The first step is to ring their nose to prevent them from digging up the soil

I have one of those hog ring pliers. I thought it was for fencing construction!

@@Rowow it's for keeping your fence constructed (not dug up) !!
