This morning was the Osage County weigh in day for livestock. We decided we could use Colin's truck rather than having uncle Eric have to drive a full trailer clear to Osage City. We did not realize that doing this would cut the drive time by a good 20 minutes. Colin has a lead foot! :) Luckily, the pigs didn't seem to mind their fast ride in the rain, and they all survived!
We were pleased, I really thought the 2 Chester Whites were around 40 pounds. I was wrong. Preston's pig (Daniel Hamms) weighed 58 pounds.
Colin's Poland China whose name I do not know yet, weighed 82 pounds.
And Mallory's hog, who she named Chester, even though I think she is a girl, weighed 61 pounds.
This just shows that I should not try to guess pig weights!
We don't have quite as far to go to make weight as I thought, which is a very good thing!
The rest of our weekend is crazy busy. We worked at a garage sale/concession stand to earn money for Colin's CWF trip, the boys (including the old one) went to the spring football game at KSU, and are staying to watch a baseball game too, we are entertaining extra kids, and I am going to dinner with the Religion Ed teachers for a year end party. I have not honestly had much stress this year with Religion Ed, as I have only been an assistant teacher, and that means I don't have to plan lessons, just show up and sit beside the kids who can't keep themselves contained during class. It has been really fun to get to hang out with the kids but not have to do the work! Some weekends make it seem like a good idea to go back to work!
