Prize winners were a 76.2 kilo boar and the heaviest sow at 44.2 kilo.
Well done to all the hard working participants - bet there'll be plenty of pork sausages around Canterbury for a while eh.
Luckily feral pigs don't carry the cat disease Toxoplasma gondii - a protozoan parasite that can invade the human brain and cause personality changes.
While only 7% of Brits are infected - 67% of Brazilians are found to carry the disease.
Older infected male humans may initially have flu-like symptoms and eye inflammation but these are followed by more serious effects on the personality - such as lower intelligence, slower reactions, aggressive extroverted less conscientious and schizophrenic behaviour - leading eventually to dementia - with suspicious, jealous and dogmatic personality tendencies on the way.

P.S. According to DermNet NZ around 20% of NZ people aged 16 - 24 and 34% of folk aged 25 - 44 have had infections of Toxoplasmosis gondii. After an acute infection the parasite remains in the body in an encysted state and can become reactivated if the immune system is impaired.
