Very possible Theo. Those that weren't stressed by this and grew well in spite of it were culled out as the fastest growers.

I'm convinced Bruce also selected them for aggressiveness at the same time, as they bite on the cage when they are trying to get at feed on the outside of the cage. You can actually hear little popping sounds.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
