Or maybe he's tied up with a big court case

Thank you for that great.......... whatever it was.
I checked the 'actual' origin on the web, here is the definitive answer according to a writers' site:
"Picture, if you will, a barn, dark inside, with the smell of musty hay and unwashed animals. Overhead are large horizontal beams, "bucket beams", actually, the name derived from the French buquet, meaning balance. Suddenly, the darkness and silence are pierced by light from the opening door and the squeals of an ill-fated piggy--it's Farmer Brown and Mildred, the Sow Who Would be Lunch! Poor Mildred, trussed up like a ... well, like a pig about to be slaughtered, is flung upside-down over the bucket beam, hanging by a rear leg, the other kicking piggily, and the stoic Farmer Brown does that razor thing he does so well.
As he's leaving the barn, the foul deed done, he hears a knocking from behind. He turns and looks through the slanting beams of light and the hay motes dancing within to the recently deceased Mildred. It seems that, in her post-mortem spasms, she kicked the bucket (beam). Farmer Brown chuckles softly to himself and leaves the barn, closing the door behind him. That'll do, pig, he thinks. That'll do."

If the bucket had high explosives in it, it would make sense.
