On Sunday, Gijsbert (63) slept in for the first time in fifty years. “Now that most of the pigs are gone, I could do the round alone,” says Marjan (55). Check whether the animals are healthy and the feeding troughs are filled. For years, when they had 3,000 pigs, the round took a lot longer. Another 70 pigs were collected on Wednesday and the last 20 pigs will stay for another six weeks and then go to the local village butcher.
