What do you do...

When a rasta arrives at your house, on a bicycle, with a piglet in a feed sack?

If you answered "You buy a piglet" you are correct

I have a soft spot for animals...

is they guy a friend or something or was just some random rasta selling pigs where did the pig come from
well I hope the piglet grows well and produces a good carcass

We know this rasta via a friend who bought piglets from him some time ago. The rasta knows we used to keep pigs. Apparently someone owed him money and paid him with the piglet instead. He doesn't have his pens any more, so he had nowhere to keep it and decided to bring it here to see if we'll buy it.

The little ham is now living in our old cement dam, which burst a few years go. It's turned into quite a handy emergency pigpen after some makeshift patching LOL

I had a very good look at her yesterday. She's healthy and she's got a nice build, longish body, so she'd be good for eating or breeding, whichever way her fate lies. Right now we're just enjoying her

Oh that makes more sense that he somewhat knew you and thats good that its a good deal to top it off

 

[Sumi]

Well, the little ham settled in and is doing very well. She has a good appetite on her and she's turning into a bit of a spoiled brat, I'm afraid...

I'd buy a pig from that guy.

Next time he comes here with one I'll call you I seriously wouldn't put it past him to try that again! He knows my soft is animals.

I'd buy a pig from that guy.

Remember ... " that guy" and his pig is in Africa. If you want to buy a pig from him, You will have to first pay him for his pig, then deal with the USDA import rules and regulations, health certificate,Veterinarian quarenteen fees plus quarenteen housing costs first in Africa then in Florida USDA facilities, etc., not to mention airfare or ship then truck transportation costs to Raleigh , NC. very EXPENSIVE bacon indeed !
