Leo stood at the edge of Miller’s Farm, clutching a weathered leather wallet that felt far too light for his ambitions. He had spent the last three summers hauling hay and fixing fences with one goal in mind: buying his first pig for the county fair.

"What about a big one?" Leo asked, pointing to a massive, stoic sow in the far field.

Miller chuckled. "That’s a breeding sow, son. She’s the future of the farm. A lady like that costs anywhere from $500 to $2,000. And a prime boar? You’re looking at $2,500 easy. Quality costs, and legacy costs more."
