I just ordered my third "Hog Stick" from Lehman's. I totally remembered my Grandfather's very stout hickory cane that came compliments of the Purina feed company.

You can spend a lot on 'fighting' canes, or, get a basic livestock cane and alter it as you see fit. Like finger grooves for a better grip on the shaft, or steaming the grip a bit open for 'hooking' a leg.

What I use is made by the Amish (no China junk here), and is intended as a working tool and very sturdy hickory. It is:

Item#22211057 Hickory Livestock Canes
36" L Cattle Cane $29.99 (They also offer a 60" version).

I still needed to trim a few inches off so my hand would rest naturally on the grip. A rubber cane tip completed it.

Got the first one 12 years ago, long before I actually needed one, mostly for dogs while walking. Now, I'm getting a third to have in the house besides the two I keep in the vehicles.

You can spend way more, but it is kinda doubtful you'll find anything better suited to your needs.
