So said Mr. Magorium to Mahoney in Mr. Magorium&#8217;s Wonder Emporioum.  Mahoney was trying to understand her life, her contribution to the world, and the value of  it.  Value.  It&#8217;s an idea that&#8217;s been kicking around in my head for some time on many levels.  As in:

Fortunately they&#8217;re loose in the next field over.  And they&#8217;re supposed to be loose in there.  The pasture Mark planted in April is finally grown enough to put the Mangalitsas in to graze the greens and dig the roots.  This particular group is ready for butchering at a nice 275-300 pounds.  They [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Grass is our biggest commodity.  It&#8217;s what we turn into top quality chicken and pork.  It makes all the difference in eggs and beef, too.  It always amazes us how the grass behind the chicken tractors is enriched. 
This photo shows the tractor tracks nicely.  You can see the beaten down areas immediately behind the pens.  [...]]]></description>

At least, one might think so when they get the opportunity so often.  Whether it&#8217;s a &#8220;pouring buckets&#8221; rainstorm, a broken water line, or a faucet forgotten &#8220;on&#8221;, the chickens seem to get lots of opportunities [...]]]></description>

Pigs cool off by taking a mud bath, much like rhinos and elephants.  The water slowly evaporates, cooling them like your sweat cools you.  With their wooly coats, the Mangalitsas seem [...]]]></description>
