Showing her pig

Julia showed her pig at the fair last night and had a BLAST!!

Unfortunately, the pig she was supposed to show got sick and could not go, so grandpa (my dad), had to pull one out of the back-ups which he was not sure was going to make weight. The pig ended up not making weight, but showed in the lightweight class. (Basically, you get to show it, but are not considered in the judging) Julia ended up having the only lightweight pig there, so she showed in a class all by herself! Once she realized the entire audience was watching her, she really hammed it up and showed off! She had a great time and is already asking when she can do it again.


Here she is at the wash-racks, waiting on the show to start and her pig to be called.


Showing her pig and strutting her stuff!


The judge commented on how he loved her red boots!


She is so grown up! Especially once I french braided her hair back.



All done showing and back in the pen


Helping the pig eat his food. This pig weighs around 220 pounds and she shows no fear!! My, my, she sure has blossomed from my super-shy little girl!
