Pigs are pretty prolific- there's a reason the Irish call them "the
gentleman who pays the rent ;-) With that many pigs, while the lady was
certainly not wealthy, she was certainly quite capable of sustaining herself
and her two daughters. Pigs are neither expensive to feed, nor picky eaters.
They're omnivorous, and can get fat on almost anything.

"When in doubt, heat it up and hit it with a hammer."
 Blacksmith's credo.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
cat.

Never a horse that cain't be rode,
And never a rider who cain't be throwed....
