Pig show

Okay since the blog is alittle idle at this time I decided to put something on. Today in Hawley we had our city show. Roper showed his three pigs. If you noticed in the picture all the pigs look alike. This is the Hampshire class. A judge judges them by the way their body mass ...and what thier ham looks like. These kids get these pigs around Oct. and start feeding them and then in Jan . we show them at the city, county, and on to the San Antonio Livestock and Rodeo Show, FT. Worth,& HOUston . It is our hobby and we really get into it. Then at the big shows they get weighed and put on the BIG TRUCK to become your bacon and ham . Ofcourse I cried last year ...maybe Iwon't this year but I doubt. it. Oh by the way u do get a check for whatever pigs are going for a pound. Anyway this is what we are busy doing at this time of the year. It keeps us busy and the kids learn responsibility: these animals have to be fed everyday , twice a day, and pens cleaned out as well. Gotta go watch the COWBOYS.
