Nicely done, that sounds like a pretty good price actually.

The price in the Philippines varies based on access to Manila. As we are as about as remote as you can get, we are about 15% lower.

I set up a table for the guys to be able to sell without me having to approve each sale.



We have a sow am selling off with a hoof issue I can't heal. Basically after 100kg pigs dont really go up in value. A 200kg sow will fetch about $20 more than a 100kg market weight porker.

I am all set to head off to the Phils for about 5 days at the end of next week.

I am currently doing some consulting for a hospital in Santa Monica. It takes me almost 2 hours to get 18 miles home each night. I have really had enough of LA>

That would be 30min tops in rush hour in Helsinki.
