Marge's calf, Psycho, will not let Hugh anywhere near him - even for routine veterinary treatment - so he calls in local animal healer Hilary Merrill. Dismayed by the calf's moniker, Hilary renames him and sets about trying to soothe the savage beast. While two of his pigs will be going off to make bacon for the winter, Hugh has decided that his saddleback Delia should go on to breed next year. To increase the value of her offspring he plans to enter her in the Okehampton Agricultural Show but in her present wild state he's worried she'll run amok in the show ring. Local pig expert Steve Loveless calls to show Hugh the ropes and after some serious bonding Delia begins to respond to his gentle commands.
