As a piglet, the pig Rosalie jumps from the shovel to certain death: Instead of continuing to live in the fattening area, the sow büxts off while being reloaded onto a cattle transport and finds refuge in a stable owned by farmer Maren Osterbuhr in Großefehn, East Frisia (district of Aurich).
Großefehn – Today, almost three years later, the 400 kilogram pig not only keeps the Osterbuhr farm busy, the animal has also become a small star on Instagram. Because there the 34-year-old reports to her around 15,000 followers about her work as a farmer. Rosalie and other farm residents, such as the dairy cows of the Osterbuhrs, appear regularly in videos and posts.
With her insights into farm life, the young farmer wants to encourage consumers to appreciate agriculture. “I hope that one day the farmers will maybe get a little more money for their products and that we will all be able to keep the animals much better,” says the 34-year-old. The pig Rosalie should stand by her for a long time and now grow old on the farm. (dpa)
