Draycin, of course, won an award! Thanks Julie to your

Brenton was a
leprechaun and his lamb was the rainbow with a pot of gold at the end! He won an award as well! Both of the boys are really good sports because one was a pink pig and the other had to wear his sisters high heeled shoes with buckles. ha ha!
Allie kept her pig really clean and took really good care of her, and we were all very pleased when she took...
Reserve Grand Champion! That means her hog came in second place out of some 200 pigs. She made $1,100 and also got
carcass money ($125) because her pigs
carcass had a lot of edible meat and just the right
amount of fat. Her pig came in 2
nd out of all the pigs as well! Lincoln Financial
Advisors - Dusty Roche in
