Everyone Used To Raise Hogs Life
A family history of pig farming. “My ancestor died with 50 pigs roaming his farm. His larder was stocked with 80 pounds of meat — enough to support him and his wife and son for a long time. My two-year-old son is excited to see the Large Blacks when I take him to the farm in the spring. ‘Hi, pigs!’ he screams. They meet him at the fence, then turn away when they realise he doesn’t have any food. One day I’ll explain to him why the big pigs disappear over winter, replaced by piglets in the spring” (2,800 words)
