Stock shows, "That'll Do Pig"

Danielle and Sheffie at 11 weeks old.Look at how sunburn he was. Danielle showing at Local.Lubbock County Show.San Angelo Show.

In October, Danielle decided to show a pig in FFA. We were a little hesitate about letting show because of all the expense and time it takes to raise a good show pig. But we decided to let her give it a try. Glad we did, we all learned from this great experience.
Little did we know that we would be buying the cutest crossbred pig. The pig was about 11 weeks old when we got him. Danielle decided to name him Sheffie. Sheffie became more of a pet to us, which was a bad mistake on our half. We all learned the responsibilities on what it's like to raise a show pig. We fed him twice a day, weekends, and of course on icy freezing weather when others new better than to get on the roads, but Sheffie still had to be fed. Sheffie grew into a good-looking pig. On Danielle's first show, the Local stock show she won first place in her class. We were so excited for her. Unfortunately we weren't as lucky in the Lubbock County stock show. This past Thursday we show him in the San Angelo Stock show and thought we had a really good chance but unfortunately Sheffie lack something that the judge was wanting. Sheffie was put on the truck weighing about 270 pounds. Yes, Danielle and I cried and cried because our piggy was going to market. hee. Sheffie will be missed! Maybe next year we can show another. We'll see though.
