Rebecca comes from a litter of 14 piglets. Unfortunately, the first 10 of Rebecca’s siblings were stillborn because of a uterine torsion prior to birthing.

It seems we are always racing to harvest before the rains. This time it was the squash and pumpkins so the sun can cure them before Halloween.
