My family have be using currs  for 5+ generations they were first used to drive hogs to the working pens in the middle of the big thicket in southeasttexas around Saratoga and kountze we use them now for recreation and to get meat for the freezer. My granddaddy said they would drive herds of hogs to a set of pens .they would sort the hogs.he said you would have up to5-10 different family marks in the pens at one time.he said old school currs were long ,lanky and very gritty.they were very protective over the family mostly the children.
