Today was swine weigh in day for Osage county 4-Hers. Uncle Eric was a tremendous help in getting these guys to Osage. We just got a couple of new pigs last night - Madison got a duroc (red pig), Preston got a Hamp (black with white stripe) and Quincy got a very sad looking little blue butt hog. Preston and Quincy's hogs are going in the f-r-e-e-z-e-r but we aren't going to share that information with them! They think they are raising a hog to sell, and we are going to keep it that way! :)
Quincy loves pigs. There is just no way to get her to not love them...much as I have tried - she comes home every day covered in pig slobber and other pig excretions. But she will be a very good pig showing queen someday! She named her little pig "Frank" and she was squealing with delight when he showed up last night!

Results of the weigh in -
Mallory's York (Boog) was 120 pounds
Madison's Duroc (Raider) was 88 pounds
Cameron's blue butt (Baroc Obacon) was 77 pounds
Preston's Hamp (Zebra) was 55 pounds
and Colin's Spot - (Spot) -a whopping 165 pounds. He will begin his diet tomorrow - as soon as we get a new pen built for him!
Preston named this little Hamp "Zebra" because he is black and white striped of course!
And Harper has a birthday today - 5 months old! She spent her birthday watching a pig weigh in! Lucky little thing! She really is a great baby! So so easy going and happy! We are very blessed that she has the sweet personality she does! She melts my heart with her little squeals and coos! To say that we are all crazy about her is a severe understatement!
