In 2016 she was destined to be someones dinner.
I noticed that the only thing she didnt devour were the paintbrushes, says Lefson.
Naming the aspiring artist Pigcasso was a no-brainer.

My room at Farm Sanctuary SA is the stone chapel cottage ($100 per night).
And the videos are fantastic.
Is it OK if I use one in my lectures?

The barn is also where the hotels kitchen is.
I ask if they were annoyed that their room came with Old MacDonalds entourage.
Not at all, they laugh.

Its why we booked the loft!
The five newest rooms are in the newly restored 19th-century manor house.
Guests can also book repurposed shipping containers that Lefson converted into industrial-chic tiny homes.
I ask the Austrian couple how they learned about Farm Sanctuary SA.
We already knew about Pigcasso, says the woman.
So we wanted to meet her while we were visiting South Africa.
Shes especially popular among art collectors.
One day it could be worth millions.
I watch as Lefson dips the paintbrush in the color of the couples choosing before handing it to Pigcasso.
The pig takes it in her mouth and makes a beeline for the canvas.
She can paint lines, dots, and circles, and she signs every piece with her snout.
Im amazed: Pigcassos work really does resemble the work of Pablo Picasso.
I get half of them wrong.
In fact, I havent even had breakfast yet.
Now that the painting session is over, Im going to hit up Farm Sanctuary SAs kitchen.
