Prizing winning pigs?

Is there any way to get Farmer Dirk's prizing winning pigs back into their pen in the town of Ashford?

Yes, there is They run away from you

Yes, you "chase" them into the pen, and you get 25 gold for your efforts.
The move quickly away from you when you get too close. To make them
run straight ahead, get directly behind them. To get them to go right,
approach them from their left side, and vice versa. Once they get close
enough to the main gate to the pen, they will walk right in and stay there.

I tried doing it alone and would get one pig in then while i was going after the next, the first would get out of the pen. I gave up.
