Yesterday

Hello, yesterday my dad had an FFA banquet last night. My sisters and I had school also. Today I am doing a lot. Like working cattle, softball, and a goat show. Hopefully i learn a lot and get some pointers.

A lot to tell

I have two goats, four pigs, and four show calves. A lot is being done around here. Plus I am excited because its the last month of school. Why the title is hog whisperer is because When I walk pigs I love on everyone and my gilt loves to be scratched on her stomach. When you do that, she will fall down and move her legs. All my other pigs have been looking good. My cattle have been good too. They are eating, leading, and improving everyday. My goats have good personality's. I can't wait till fair season.

A lot to tell

There is a lot to tell you. For a couple of weeks I have had 4 pigs. Their names are Tex and Carl I got from Texas. JR from Joe Roberts. My gilt Betty. Last year from the State Fair a girl I know from showing gave her pigs Doritos. I tried that, they did not like them so I gave them animal crackers. They like them. Five days ago we put one of my heifers on a donkey. The donkey trains her to obey,trust, and not to kill us. It worked. All my other calves are doing good. My steers are getting big and heifers are looking great.

Welcome Black Beauty!

My heifer that I did really good with had a calf. This calf is beautiful and funny to watch. Her name is Black Beauty. Last week was so BUSY! My dad had contests all week for FFA. My youngest sister is showing a bottle calf. She named it tiger because of his tail. He did not like the halter at all. On the 24TH there was a hog sale. I did not buy anything. Then there is another one on April 1st. I am at the point where I'm ready to get pigs.

Getting ready for Columbia!

This week at school we have started to do the 50 mile club. It is where you run a mile each day. At this point of time I am very sore! The main reason I am going to go to Columbia is to judge animals and have fun. My dad is taking me and his FFA Livestock judging team. When it comes to this stuff my little sister wants to tag along. I hope everyone has a nice spring break!

Long time no see. I have been very busy! I have a heifer that has been dehorned. We got her into the barn and tied her up and had take the stitches out. Grosses thing ever. My two steers have been gaining weight. The others are getting ready for Jackpots. Softball season is coming up pretty quick. My sister and I have been practicing a lot. We have been playing outside too. Hopefully it stays warm.

Getting ready for steer weigh-in

I have been getting ready for steer weigh-in for our youth fair. What I did to get ready is wash one of my steers and blow him. He did not like that very well because has not had any water,feed, and hay. Then all of a sudden it started to rain. So much for getting a lot of other things done.My dad and I bet on my calves weight. Hopefully I win!
