Raising Pigs: April 10, 2009

Hello,

This year, I have a plan to start raising pigs. We have bought 5 pigs. Last night it rained really hard here. One of the pigs died in the rain last night. Maib has already cooked the pig for us to eat. These pigs are not regular domesticated pigs, but they're wild pigs. They're different in that domesicated pigs are physically not as strong. Pork from domesticated pigs is cheaper. Wild pigs are not as easy to raise as domesticated pigs because you can't really teach them anything. Wild pigs are also smaller, but there is more meat on them, and the meat is more expensive. But the wild pigs that we're raising right now we're not planning on selling or anything, this is just a tryout, a test if you will, to see how it goes. We don't have a place to keep the pigs and the area where we're keeping the pigs right now isn't very big. These pictures are of the pigs and a few of the children that are going to be living with us this year. It's now Songkran here.

I will send you another email after Songkran letting you know which students will be living with us next year. God bless you.Somboon
