There was an expected misfortune today.
In this morning, I heard a very strange scream from the next house standing on top of a hill when I was feeding horses. I wasn't so worried about it until I saw all horses stopped eating hey and were gazing at the top of the hill because there are a lot of strange sounds which I've heard all the time, made by a various kind of animals living around here. After that, I called a neighbor living in the house, but she was out for working. I explained the situation to my friend who came to my place afterward for riding on a horse and we then decided to go to the house to make sure what was going on.
As soon as we got the house, we checked the pen which two piggies were in because my friend working on a farm suggested to do so. We unexpectedly saw the piggies breeding from their ears and legs and dogs,which were supposed to be in the next pen, with a bloody mouth in the piggies' pen, which sent shivers down my spin. Eventually, the neighbor got home by our agent calling to her work place and decided to shoot the piggies to release their pain. I felt deep sorrow for her because I knew how much she has loved the piggies and dogs. She was actually going to eat the piggies on this weekend, yet the thing which was not supposed to happen has changed her mind. I can understand her feeling that she doesn't want to eat them hit by her dogs, which must be more complicated than I imagine.
I learned farmer's passion from her story. I was moved by the situation that she gave the injured piggies a last meal just before shooting even though they were not eaten by people. She treated them with great love until the end, which impressed me deeply.

I've learned from a farmer.
Or "learnt", if you're doing Australian English.
There was an expected misfortune today.
You meant "unexpected", right?
In this morning, I heard a very strange scream from the neighbouring house standing on top of the hill when I was feeding the horses.
I wasn't so worried about it until I noticed all the horses stopped eating hay and were staring at the top of the hill because there were a lot of strange sounds which I've heard all the time, made by various kind of animals living around here.
Took me a minute to work out what you meant by "hey", but I can understand the spelling mistake.
My book "Kana can be easy" has "へ is a HAYstack" as its mental image for the letter "へ".
After that, I called a neighbor living in the house, but she was out working.
I explained the situation to my friend who came to my place afterward for horse riding and we then decided to go to the house to check what was going on.
Although you can sometimes use "make sure" instead of "check", you can't do that here. I'm not sure why.
As soon as we got to the house, we checked the pen which two pigs were in because my friend working on a farm suggested to do so.
"piggies" is a bit childish.
We unexpectedly saw the pigs bleeding from their ears and legs and dogs, which were supposed to be in the next pen, with a bloody mouth in the pigs' pen, which sent shivers down my spine.
The sentence is slightly awkward, but I'm not sure how to improve it.
Eventually, the neighbor got home, thanks to our agent calling her work place, and decided to shoot the pigs to release them from pain.
I felt deep sorrow for her because I knew how much she has loved the pigs and dogs.
She was actually going to eat the pigs this weekend, yet the thing which was not supposed to happen changed her mind.
I can understand her feeling that she doesn't want to eat them since they were attacked by her dogs, which must be more complicated than I imagine.
I learned farmer's compassion from her story.
I was moved by the situation that she gave the injured pigs a last meal just before shooting them, even though they were not eaten by people.
