Tonight we made a very strange journey to
Vinland to purchase a couple of 4-H hogs. Preston got a very small Hampshire (black and white), and is so excited about his first pig! He named the hog Collin Swine (after
KSU's Quarterback, C0
llin Klein, not after his brother!). I am just a little nervous that this little piggy will not make weight, but Preston told me if he doesn't, it will be
ok for us to eat him - Preston LOVES bacon and ham! At least he has a realistic grasp on the idea of a market hog!
We bought a Duroc (red with floppy ears) for Madison. Opposite of the problem with Preston's hog being too small, I
see a diet in this guy's future! Madison says she is naming him Oprah
Pigfrey. I don't really know who has been working with him, but he is super friendly and pretty cute.
Swinederella didn't seem to mind having company, and they all seemed to be settling in together
ok this evening.
I had to put this photo on here, not because it is a wonderful pose by Quincy, but because it illustrates her silver sparkly flats that she was wearing to go buy hogs! You can never look too pretty, especially when going to a big old pig farm! She loves hogs. I can't tell you how excited she was about the little baby pigs that the guy tried to sell her. He tried to sell her one that would need to be bottle fed! She was all about it. I said NO WAY! We sure would NEVER be able to put a thing that she bottle fed into our freezer!
Saige is getting to a place where she is very unhappy with the bouncy seat - she wants to be upright. I got out the
exercise seat for her and she spent a good hour standing in it. She spent a good amount of that time licking it. Wonder what Harper left on there that tasted so good?
We also let her try her first graham cracker. She was most impressed with this! Girlie likes to eat!
