Fort Worth open show 2017 is in the books. We had a great time hanging with friends both old and new. Could have done better however we cant really complain. We made it through the sift and caught a pen with the Berk and got lost in the deep blue sea with the Duroc. Morgan gave it all and did exactly what she needed to. Congrats to all.

“So God Made a Hog Farmer.”
“On the eighth day, God looked down on his planned paradise that included the wily, yet noble, pig and said, ‘I need a caretaker,’ so God made a hog farmer.
“He said, ‘I need someone who will get up from a warm bed in the middle of a winter’s night to check on that jittery sow that is sure to farrow before morning. I need someone who will patiently sit on a 5-gallon bucket while a sow strains and delivers each newborn; someone who will remain attentive, knowing when to help, when to not. Someone who will collect each newborn piglet, dry him off and nudge him toward his first meal.’ So God made a hog farmer.
“God said, ‘I need someone who, at the end of a long and exhausting labor, feels more sad than disappointed when a sow has one or two stillborns, sometimes nothing more. Someone who will recognize the opportunity for this now barren mother; someone who will gather up the ‘fall behinds’ in other litters and transplant them to the new foster mother for a second chance.’ So God made a hog farmer.
“God said, ‘I need more caretakers who will provide comfortable quarters, nutritious diets, conscientious health care and respect every animal in their care.’
“God said, ‘I need someone who intuitively knows the proper time to invite their children and grandchildren to share the miracle of birth and then patiently answer a million questions about how this miracle has come about.’ So God made a hog farmer.
“God said, ‘I need mentors for the young boys and girls, the 4-H and FFA members, ready to learn, ready to pitch in, and ready to make a difference. I need mentors who will share their wisdom, foster a valuable work ethic and encourage them with: ‘Good job! Well done.’ So God made a hog farmer.
“God said, ‘I need someone who will encourage these youngsters to try their hardest, to teach the importance of winning graciously and humbly and, more importantly, to lose, and to congratulate the
victor — and mean it.’
“God said, ‘I need thoughtful men and women to teach the next generation to respect life and to generously and honorably provide wholesome nourishment to their fellow man.’ So God made a hog farmer.
“God said, ‘I need honest, hard-working men and women who, when faced with health challenges in their herds, short crops and dismal markets, will gather their respective talents and collectively work to solve these problems, the industry’s problems — and hang on.’ So God made a hog farmer.”
Somebody who will bale a family together with the soft, strong bonds of sharing, who would laugh and then sigh, and then reply, with smiling eyes, when his son (or daughter) says he (she) wants to spend his (her) life doing what dad does, so God made a (hog) farmer.”
We have sold all of Maggie's litter and I would like to Thank the folks that purchased our pigs for showing and for nourishment. Each day is a blessing on this earth may "God Bless you all with my prayers of "GREAT LUCK" in the show ring and may our pigs provide lots of meat on your table. Let us hear how they did this year!!! Love to you all!!!
