This boy was doing the job of a man at that age, rounding up livestock, driving the animals to market. It didn’t seem to harm him any, and might even have done him some good. Listless, depressed teenagers weren’t really a thing then like they are now. The description of his work, months spent herding a pack of pigs across open country, is a pretty impressive, and probably healthy, activity for a kid.
