Sai Vue, right, and his three sons wait to choose a pig and have it slaughtered at Hogmasters butcher shop in Hugo, Minn., on Thursday, Nov. 16, 2023. The pig is an offering to pay back Vue's ancestors for answering his request for help, and he brought his boys so they would be more familiar with traditional Hmong spiritual customs that often involve sacrificing animals.
