The crocodile hunter showed both pigs at county, regional and state this winter, earning a second place and a few fourth and fifth placings.
Bacon, the female pig, has been sold to a neighbor for breeding, so she escaped the slaughter. The male pig is now in the freezer (220 lbs of meat!) awaiting Pascha when we plan to enjoy loads of bacon and sausage. I am amazed by how much comes from a single pig. The verdict is in and while he enjoyed showing pigs and plans to again, he definitely prefers sheep. Watching 20 kids try to show pigs in a ring, it looked like trying to herd cats to me!
I closed my hotmail account and now can't find your contact info. But I wanted to express our condolences to your family! We live nearby and if there is any way we can help out please let me know.
