And oh yes, I still have my sexy jacket. Nick actually borrowed my older brother's FFA jacket one year so he could wear it for Halloween. By the way, I had no idea pigs could be trained. Who knew.

And you parents out there, remember, your kid can get attached to a duck or a pig, as much as it can a cat or a dog.

They sell them off each year at auction. They are able to start showing when they reach the age of 5. Alot of kids start then and go all the way until they are 19, which means they can fund most of college with their livestock sales. Who knew a goat can go for $1600 bucks!!? Seriously...anyhow off track - the saddest is when the little kids have to leave the show right after the auction before we load the animals up to take the ride to the slaughter house. The saddest is when a little girl came back to tell her sheep good night and the sheep had gone. We had to explain that he took a trip. It was sad. She was happy though when she got her check for 800 bucks! So I work with 4-H…the kids I work with – not all of them – raise livestock (pigs, sheep, steers and goats).
