18194 days in the life of a pigman

Part two

Beschreibung

Part two here at last, hold on tight! The story so far. After thirty two years in pig farming the decision was made to make the biggest move yet. This was to be his most formidable challenge. Read how he went from the highs of his last four years in the UK, to the frustrating lows of his first six months in Spain, attempting to manage a nine hundred sow unit. It is another roller coaster ride that culminates with the 'career topping', management of an experimental, freedom farrowing pig unit. The 'Holy Grail'. Part two of this two part autobiography will once again stir some memories for some whilst illuminating once more how the way we look after our pigs has improved over the years, particularly in the UK, despite the obstacles put in the way of dedicated farmers and their hard working staff. And maybe any budding new pig farmers might be able to pick up a few tips along the way. But on the lighter side there are a few more 'none piggy' moments that will tickle your giggle glands. Keep an eye out for this author as he toys with the idea of moving onto fiction writing.

Autor

For over two decades, I have embarked on a relentless quest to discover this vast, intricate world. My journey has taken me far beyond my birthplace in California, to the bustling streets of Manila, vibrant Hong Kong, Taipei, Shanghai, Sydney, Mumbai, Hannover, and back to dynamic Hong Kong Throughout my travels, I have had the extraordinary opportunity to immerse myself in some of the globe's most fascinating locales, often during pivotal moments. I spent a year living with an aboriginal tribe in the remote Northern Philippines and another year in the slums of Manila, gaining insights into lives vastly different from my own. My adventures in Nepal included being tracked by a Bengal tiger for four intense days and nights through the dense jungle. China, Myanmar, and Vietnam have also left their indelible marks on me, as did my time in Cambodia, where I navigated the post-Pol Pot era with the protection of 16 bodyguards. And then there's India-a land of unparalleled magic and mystery. As a keen observer of people, places, and events, I strive to transport readers into the heart of my experiences through vivid writing. Whether it's the depths of Nepalese jungles or the vibrant nightlife of Wanchai, Hong Kong, my goal is to make every story come alive
