Newest Additions.....

Last weekend, in addition to clipping calves until 1:00 a.m. on Friday night, and going to a steer show on Sunday (more on those later, I'm still sorting through the 175+ pictures I took that day), we also went to a pig sale. It's getting to be that time of year again, and if we are going to State Fair, we need to find some pigs.




Meet "Tyler Junior" and "Jason":




We originally were going to buy just 1 state fair pig as a companion pig for a pig that we have coming from Todd's cousin in PA, but it won't get here for a few weeks yet. And as we were sitting at the sale, I mentioned to Todd that we are just about out of pork in our freezer.



So we had to buy a companion pig for the companion pig!




If all goes as planned, Jessie and Tyler will show 2 pigs at the Ohio State Fair in August. And one of these pigs will go in our freezer:)




And when we got home, the kids had to spend some quality time with their new pigs:

Love those pictures! I had to smile reading your post... it's lovely to think of raising pigs for the fair, and bittersweet to know their fate. Such is the life of a pig sometimes, tho. Part of what made me smile is knowing there's good meat in the freezer. Is that totally wrong????
