We headed up to the home of SPAM last weekend for the National Barrow Show in Austin, Minnesota!
Preston picked the wrong pig for showmanship - "Norman" is more of a sprinter than a cross country runner....
Preston did a great job but that pig was just too quick for the judge's liking...should have picked the one we call "Fatty," he's not fast at all!
The kids spent a lot of time in the pig pens.
Peighton loves her pigs and misses them now that they are gone!
This picture cracks me up.
They were supposed to just relax with their pig for a minute while the rest of the pigs came into the ring.
Peighton listened.
Preston (in the orange) is unable to quit driving his hog...he just kept going...
They both did well, had a great time, and brought home a new Spam shirt.
They can't wait until new pigs come in a few months because neither one liked bringing home an empty trailer.
Peighton told me "The barn feels empty without any pigs in it!"
Good thing she's still got her heifers to keep her busy!
