Feral pigs a growing concern for southwest Saskatchewan

Feral pigs may sound like a page out of rural legend, but in southwest Saskatchewan, the tale is turning real. While sightings in this region are still scarce, experts warn it’s only a matter of time before their numbers swell. With their roots tracing back to the 1980s agricultural diversification, these boars didn’t just disappear into folklore. Instead, they’ve adapted, multiplied, and are slowly inching further southwest. Addressing this issue is crucial, as left unchecked, these “superpigs” could become regular, uninvited guests on the prairie landscape.

When they adapt to the prairie of Southweset Saskatchewan, they adapt to the prairie of North Dakota.
