| Girls in the Grand Gilt drive |
Gilt show was Friday, was going to post but WiFi is spotty here, and I wanted to put up a picture that had all four kids that showed but my memory card is acting weird.
It was a great day, Elizabeth had Champion Hamp gilt, Champion Poland gilt, Sara had Champion Hereford gilt, Jayme had Champion Chester Gilt, and Matthew had Champion Berk gilt, so 5 breeds in the Grand Champion gilt drive, had to find a kid to show one of our girls. Cool thing is, the Poland and the Berk are both out of gilts we showed last year, so much fun to see second and even third generations from the same line do well, the Poland last year was out of the Poland we had the year before, she is actually a third generation to be shown by us. Ended the day with the overall Reserve grand gilt, with Eby's hamp, the belted pig in the picture. She is a great gilt, only got beat by a crossbred, so very close!!!
So very proud of the kids and to see their efforts rewarded!!
oinkers!
ReplyDeleteI love pigs.. they are so cute!
(your "pig verbage..Hereford... Poland...Berk.. it's all greek to me! :)...)
Those are breeds of pigs Janis, like german shepherd, Rottweiler, and Red Heelers. Those are all purebred pigs, herefords look like hereford cattle, white face and feet, red body, and floppy ears (the pig in the picture that Sara is driving in the middle is a hereford), polands have a white face, white feet, and can have an occasional splash of white on their body, but are mostly black with floppy ears, Berkshire is a black pig with white feet, and some white on it's face with erect ears, Eby is driving a Hampshire in the picture, looks like an oreo, Jayme is last in the picture and is driving a chester white, all white floppy eared pig. Hope this helps!!
