ITS SHOW DAY

My son had been raising a pig for the FFA. Well this past Wed. March 25, 2009, was show day. He finally is done. As he puts it. Ill be honest I don't know much bout this stuff. Other than for it being Jacobs 1st show. He did great. And the judge thought so as well. Unfortunately he didn't place. But at least he tried. And I'm very proud of him for that. He hated the entire experience. Or so he said. He wants to show a sheep next year. I'm all for him showing again. But he just doesn't realize how much work it takes to show sheep. After we sit down and talk it through, if he still wants to Ill back him 120%. Anyways, I heard the judge say only thing wrong with his pig was he was to slender. I kept telling his dad that the pig needed more pounds, but since I have never done this thing before and the fact that I'm a female, I didn't know what I was talking bout. Guess I did. lol. So now off to the slaughter house Shadow goes. lol. I'm not sure how Jacob will handle that. He said hes just fine with it. But its different to talk about it. But when your pig is actually on your plate in front of you, its a different story. Well see. The worst part of the show is it took place on the day the cold front came through. It was cold and extremely rainy. It was funny though. It rained all the way up to the time Jacob came out to show is pig. It had started raining bout 11:30 - 12:00 and stopped at 4:00. Just as soon as Jacobs group came out. I have a couple of pictures. They aren't very good. I took em with my phone. and had a hard time getting good pics with them moving around the arena. lol.
