Part 2/8:
The year started on a sour note, with the goose hatching season yielding little success. The farmer reported that virtually none of the goose eggs hatched, with multiple attempts falling flat. The heartache continued as two bull calves died shortly after birth, and tragically, a mature pig—affectionately named Sir Porking Ton—went missing, deepening the sense of loss and haunting the farmer’s thoughts. The farmer described searching for the pig but finding no trace, leaving them to wonder what had happened.
