I'm curious!!!
Received a copy of the Ascott's catalogue today and there is an item called a pig slapper
What's it for - I wouldn't fancy slapping a pig!!!

It gives a tattoo, which is one of the ways a pig can be marked before moving on a licence.

Ahhhh, thanks for that Alison, it did mention something about ink but wasn't sure what it actually was for. At least I know now. It was going to bug the heck out of me not knowing!!!!
