Hog wild and pig crazy

I'm sooooo proud of my 'grandson'... his first year in 4-H,

and he took second place in showmanship with his pig

(behind only a high schooler, grandson is ten), and first

place in heavyweight feeder pigs.

Best of all, at auction a local feed store paid FOUR DOLLARS

a pound for his 277 pound pig, when the others were

going for btwn. $2.75 and $3.00 per.

Here are some pics:

Well done, Wyatt. Does he have to butcher it himself too?

No, he doesn't... but he's seen his mom dress out

a deer or two, and he and dad clean their fish catch

quite frequently!

No, he actually named him "Charm" for some unknown reason.

I did raise a feeder calf one time that I named "Sir Loin",

even wrote it on the gate to his pen!!
