350-kilogram pig on shelf(China Daily)Updated: 2007-02-05 09:35 As Spring Festival approaches, a farmer in Jiaonan, Shandong, is becoming increasingly anxious; because the 350-plus-kilogram pig he has raised still has no buyers. The farmer, surnamed Wang, still regrets turning down an offer last year, but Wang was dissatisfied with the figure. Unexpectedly, the pig developed a remarkably good appetite and gained weight rapidly this year, although Wang fed it only twice a day with vegetables. Currently, the pig, 2 meters long and 1 meter tall, is the heaviest pig in the city. Wang is now worried that the pig's colossal size has scared vendors away. (Qingdao Evening News) |
