Farewell Oreo!

Well you may remember awhile back that my nephew Hank had a pig he was raising for FFA. Well today was the show and he no longer has a pig. I went up there today to watch him show and say farewell to Oreo! Hank did great and came in 5th place for his weight class. Here are some pictures from the show this morning.

Here is Oreo:


This is my sister pinning Hanks number on him:
Here he comes walking through the gate to the show floor:
Here he is walking his pig:


After all classes were shown, he got to come back out this time for him in showmanship. He did great even with all the chaos of some of the pigs fighting (it was very exciting at times, almost like watching UFC, but with pigs). He did great and we are very proud of him. It is kind of funny watching them show their animals as they are suppose to make eye contact with the judge as much as possible, but it kind of looks like they are staring him down, so it is fun to watch.
Here he is (without the hat this time). He is the second one from the left:



I know he put a lot of hard work into this and we are so proud of him. I know it must be a relief for this to be over with.
