Their tails were curled tighter than Arby's curly fries, and their four little legs ran faster than the Kenyans. As they were squealing with every ounce of oxygen in their lungs, I stood in there, stuck in the mud and getting snowed on. But even the snow and mud and bitter winds couldn't blow the excitement out of me....the farm was bringing home show pigs! That's right...show pigs! This past Sunday, the Raymond Family Farm brought home 3 hogs; 2 gilts (females) and 1 barrow (male). Marlo, one of my pigs, is an all black gilt with more energy than the Energizer Bunny himself. Then there's Bauer...like Eddie Bauer or Bauer Hockey Sticks. He's the total opposite, being as lazy as men on a Sunday afternoon. And last but not least is little miss Aldous, the sweetheart of the bunch. She will be shown by another 4-Her who is keeping her at our farm.
There's not much to tell about these pigs right now but I will say, their unpredictable personality leads me to believe that my blog will hold many more stories about these crazy guys. Until then, stay tuned for the rest of the story....
