Show Time!



Hank the Duroc is all grown up and ready for the county youth stock show.


He was good pig.
So much more gentle and laid back than the rowdy
from last year.


It's always a little sad
the evening that a pig is loaded up.
Even when you know all along that
after the work is done
he's not coming back home,
it's still hard.





The Friday before the show,
the kids get the day off of school 
to check in,
get their pen assignments,
and get their animals clean and ready.


It's always a fun day for the kids.
Lots of hard work, 
and usually a nice lunch out.





And, then, before you know it -
it's show time!


Proud of my girl. :-)
