Spring break Houston Livestock Show was fantastic!!! As expected, the pig gets sick a week before the show and drops 15 pounds. We get him recovered and were lucky that his weight was at the maximum for the medium weight class. Houston is filled with sift after sift, but Brady (my 3rd son) was waved straight to the ring with his pig. The cheers rang out through the barn from friends and teachers who were also there. They place ten, he was either 11th or 12th which is awesome. The reason he didn't place higher? One of the judges noticed the pig would swing a leg differently every once in a while. That is how competitive this huge show is. This is Brady's first year to breed, raise, and show his own pigs and he did VERY well in two major shows with two of those pigs in spite of all the obstacles he had to overcome. We were tickled pink!!!! Now, we start all over again.
