A Riversdale farmer is offering $1000 as a reward in the hope the culprits who slaughtered two pigs at his farm in the middle of the night last week can be caught. Gilbert Watt said yesterday that he was at a Fonterra conference in Auckland when he received a call from a worker at the farm on May 11. Each would be worth $350 to $400 and the meat would be valued much higher, he said. Mr Watt believed those who killed the pigs would have to know the farm layout as they were in a specific area, a little way from the cowshed. He was offering a reward was to stop a similar thing happening to others, he said.
