Pictures tell a thousand stories-Wk43

To me a topic like this is used to archive memories and that is something I would love to do in this post. I was scrolling through my gallery and then found some pictures I had taken a few weeks back and I thought to myself, "why not use these pictures for this contest".it dawn on me that I could even share the story behind the pictures.
You know just about three weeks ago, we had to dispose the pigs we had at the farm. We felt it was just time for them to actually go. While we were planning all of these we never knew the worker we had at the farm had other terrible plans for us.
He had already planned to leave unannounced, we thought we could bank on him, we thought we could plan with his presence around the farm but you see, he left even without a goodbye, even cause some damage even before leaving but thank God we found a way out just in time.
I'm sorry I had to digress, lets get right into the main discussion, the pigs...smiles. Those cool looking animals can actually prove to you that they are really beast when they feel threatened just like in the pictures below.

The moment they started seeing strange faces around the farm on the day we wanted to sell them off, they started acting really weird. Of course they have to be weighed before being bought because that is how their worth is being derived.
Trust me, it was a serious exercise trying to tie some of them and putting some into the sack in twos and three just to make the scaling easy and faster. The animal migrated into what I called the beast mode displaying both strenght and displeasure as they were tied up and weighed.

We did all of these exercise for roughly one hours or even more before the job was done because they were quite many. I didn't join them in catching and tying up the animals, I stayed away keeping record of their weight while I watched them do what they know to do best.
After the whole exercise only 4 of the animal were left, one which I perceived was pregnant and three others that the buyers considered too small to pick along with them. Anyways it was a stressful day already, I managed to clean up and then left the farm after waiting endlessly for our farm worker who never came back.
