The boys have joined the Hogs Wild 4H club and are raising pigs to show at Junior Show this May. Junior Show is always held on Mothers Day Weekend. This will be the boys first time to be involved in 4H.
ELK and HY checking out the pigs trying to decide which one they want to chose.
Oink...Oink....Oink. They pick up 20 pigs this morning in Pullman, WA from WSU.
Here is the pig that Evan chose. It is a female pig and is marked with the orange E.
Aren't they cute.
ADK hold ELK's pig when it gets the ear tag. The tag is so the kids can tell the pigs apart.
The guys are installing the temporary walls in so the pigs can have some shelter from the cold weather. When it warms up the walls will come down again.
The pigs new housing. ADK's pig is the one on the right marked with the orange K.
Oh what fun lies ahead for the family learning about how to raise and show pigs. Never thought I would become a pig farmer. We are hoping to get help from Rick's nephew who is in college studying agriculture and plans to be a pig farmer. He lives in Pendleton and has shown pigs in High School. Oh do we need help.
