Ep 6. We've Got Pig Problems

In Saved by the Barn season 1 episode 6 titled "We've Got Pig Problems," the rescue team at the Barn Sanctuary is faced with a challenging situation. A group of pigs who were saved from a neglectful breeder are struggling to adapt to their new home. The pigs are exhibiting aggressive behavior and it's becoming difficult for the team to handle them safely.

Barn Manager Dan McKernan steps up to the challenge and works closely with animal behaviorist Dr. Kristen Leigh to understand what could be causing the pigs' behavior. They soon discover that the pigs have been traumatized by their previous living conditions and are suffering from PTSD.

Dan and the team start implementing a new approach to help the pigs feel safe and secure. They build a special enclosure for the pigs, complete with mud pools, toys, and houses, similar to the environment they were used to before being rescued. Additionally, the team starts using positive reinforcement techniques to train the pigs and help them bond with humans.

As the weeks go by, the pigs start showing progress, bonding with the team and becoming more accustomed to their new home. However, just as things are starting to look up, a new problem arises. A group of feral pigs has been spotted near the Barn Sanctuary. These pigs are causing damage to the property and could potentially harm the rescued animals.

Dan and the team quickly devise a plan to round up the feral pigs and relocate them to a nearby protected area. They work tirelessly to catch the pigs, using special cages and luring techniques.

In the end, the mission is successful, and the team can breathe a sigh of relief. The rescue pigs are happy and healthy, and the feral pigs are safely relocated. Dan and the team reflect on the success they've achieved and are grateful for all the hard work they put in to keep the animals safe.
