On Thursday night we left for Plainview, TX for the Ring of Success Pig Sale. Daddy did AWESOME and got Grand Champion Spot, Duroc, & Landrace barrows and Grand Champion Duroc Gilt which then went on to win the Overall Grand Champion over the whole show!! At the barrow sale yesterday Daddy was presented with a big texas belt buckle for having the champion. The sale went great and the pigs sold really good. It was a long trip but well worth it. Here are a few pictures....
On our way through Oklahoma City we met Brad for breakfast. It was so good to see him!! We sure miss him. Doesn't he look GREAT!!
This is our pig man. He was hauing pails, hitting pigs with sticks and watering them all day. He just loves to be in with the pigs.
Here's Jacob showing his very 1st pig! This was one of the very last pigs to sell for the day so the crowd is really small but for most of the sale it was standing room only.
We're almost home!!!!!

Here's the belt buckle that daddy won for Overall Grand Champion. Ryan can't wait to take it to school tomorrow. :-) Now daddy can fit in with all the Texans with their belts. ha ha
