Our Family,  Our Hobby Farm

To Market, to Market, to Buy a Fat Pig

4-H EXPO has come and went. That’s where our family spent the last several days. It’s a lot of fun and a great culmination to the raising of an animal for market.

First we loaded up the pigs. I make this sound a lot easier than it is sometimes!

This one was getting a last minute mud bath before being coaxed… and coaxed…. and coaxed into the horse trailer.

At EXPO they show twice – once for showmanship and the second time for confirmation. Serenity placed 3rd in the Senior division for Showmanship and her pig was Reserve Champion Crossbred. So not a bad year for our Missy.

A prize pig. 🙂

My niece Zoe flew in from Pennsylvania and is spending the week with us.

She’s a goat girl and shows and sells goats at her 4-H Auction in PA. So she’s been soaking in how we all operate here in AZ and gathering some ideas.
