They will go right through if they want out or in. I've seen them run straight through 5 strand barb wire fences like they are not there. They put their nose under the bottom wire and just run through them. If the wire is too tight for them to go under I've seen them break them. Also we grow watermelons and have a hot wire around them and they will just squeal and go right on through it. On our traps we've had them break more than 17 welds on cattle panels and escape. You might keep them in for awhile but if the decide they don't want to be there they will find a way out.
fence and good hot wire keeps them in

No way. 25 hogs would be off of several hundred acres the first night. Fence won't keep them there, they will root under it. You turn 25 loose you will not gather all of them back up as you say.
Likely it is illegal to do unless you have permits from the state. You aren't going to get it for hogs.
Isn't it possible to have several hundred acres of your own land and place 20 sows and 5 boars on it in hopes of letting them free range there until you gather them up for slaughter?

wild hogs Especially those that are a couple years old will just squeal and go through it.around my neck of the woods, anywhere there are wild hogs close the farmers don't even try to plant melons ,corn , or peanuts.they just can't keep them out.
hogwire with electric on top and bottom doesn't help.
