Beautiful form. Hoofs together, snout pointed slightly down, cute little tail curled just so. Good trajectory, too. Still bacon though. Yum.

This pig’s form is clearly off. Notice how the front hoofs are apart. This one will be delicious bacon tomorrow morning.

Bad pig. The entry is all off. Back hoofs are apart, snout is too raised and those ears! Oh lord, someone call the butcher.
