Livestock Show 2013

The County Livestock Show went REALLY well this year!!  I'm so proud of my 15 year old who is breeding and raising his own show pigs.  One of his pigs won Reserve Champion of the breed and brought over $1000 dollars at auction!!! He was soooo excited because he'd been diligently saving for a truck and that put him over the top.
They took one pig to San Antonio for a show and one day before they left, the pig got sick and lost over 15 lbs. Guess what the judge whispered in my sons ear as they cut his pig from the ring.  The pig's composition was great, her just needed some more mass (weight).  That was disappointing, but he got quite of bit of interest from people wanting to buy from next years litter.  One more show to go.  We're going to Houston in March.
