The Pig Sale

Last Saturday, we trekked almost 200 miles to sell pigs. Yes, it sounds crazy, but the price is so much better going to this particular sale barn, it's worth the trip. We were running late and almost missed the hog sale, but they squeezed us in and we got a decent price for them. We stopped to visit R's aunt & uncle "on the way" home (it was only about 60 miles out of the way) and didn't get home until almost midnight Saturday night.

I checked our phone messages Sunday morning. We had received several phone calls Saturday from a family that had a boar hog R wanted to buy. He called them back right away and made arrangements to get it later that afternoon (driving another 200+ miles round-trip).

Well, here's the funny thing...these people had also traveled to the very same sale the day before...and purchased every single one of the pigs we had taken! :-) Don't they realize how much easier it would have been to just meet half-way and exchange animals and money? We're still laughing about that one, but K was happy to know where "Waggy" pig was living now....
