Drake did his first pig this year!! He had a lot of fun and put a lot of work into it. The first day was market where they judge the pig and Porkster did very well he placed 4th over all. We were very excited about that. The next day was Showmanship and Drake took 1st. It was so fun to watch. He was very intense and had a natural ability with it. Awesome job Drake!!
Because Drake took 1st in his age in the pigs he moved into the round robin. In this the top placed in steer, lamb, goat and pigs compete. Drake spent most of Friday preparing for this and did a great job!! You may ask where is Drake in a couple pictures? The steer was a little bigger than him. He did say that the steer was his second favorite to show. This was a great experience for him but it did take a lot of time. He enjoyed learning more about each one but still loved his Porkster.
All the hard work was paid off during the auction when HYROCK, Drake's buyer, very generously, bid more than Drake was expecting. It will give Drake a nice start for his mission and college fund. He also received a nice bonus from Doug Swartz for the MVCU. Drake also received money, a duffel bag and other items for placing in each event. NICE JOB DRAKE!!!
