The sow was won by our youngest at our local fair a few years ago. He caught her in the greased pig contest. This is her 3rd or 4th litter and the boy has actually made some nice money off the pig. He is quite the little salesman and literally has a waiting list of folks wanting his finished hogs! After he pays for their corn he is making around $200 off each pig. Big time $ for a 10 yr old! Here's a pic from when we first got her:Bacon seeds.
I miss having hogs but with out a market they are about worthless.
