I highly doubt it. I would bet she probably has a hobby farm with a couple goats, a donkey, a llama or two, a large garden and what would have been your 10 pigs. You can't waste your time and everyone else's time and expect to be successful. This is one of those, 'it's hard work and long hours, but at least the pay is poor' things. Without the hard work or the long hours, I can't imagine the pay would exist at all.Bill Gauchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01287284061932329662noreply@blogger.com
