Caribou County Fair was last week and we are still trying to recover. Of course its all about the swine show for our family - right kids? I don't think any of them had their hearts in it this year, but we made them get out there anyway. I didn't ever think we would be able to show and sell all four pigs, but you wouldn't believe how much feed those pigs ate when we mixed it with powdered donuts for 2 weeks. The kids all worked hard on getting the pigs to make weight, but we didn't work so hard on driving them and it showed in the ring - Live and learn I quess. Seth, Megan, and Shelby have decided than they want to try their hand at a beef project again next year. I'm partial to the pigs, but they will decide. It was an extremely busy week and I'll have a another post, but this one is all about the Swine Show.
All three girls are showing in this picture. They all fell into the same class with our smaller pigs this year.

Megi showing her hog - she placed the highest of our kids in showmanship. She made it back to the championship round, but "Joey" didn't co-operate very well. He knew where the gate was and wanted to be back in the pen with his buddies.
Here is Shelby doing her best to show "Patsy" off to the judge.
Mara is answering the judges questions - hey Mara where is "Davey"?
