State Fair Success

We've been home from the Ohio State Fair for a week, but I haven't summarized how our pigs did. We entered the majority of our pigs in the Muscle, Quality and Performance Show. This show focuses on how well the pigs grew on the farm, how they looked in the show ring and how their meat graded after the fair.

Three of our pigs were in the top ten in the meat quality portion of the show. This is exciting - these were pigs that were born and raised on our farm. It's exciting to have them recognized as top in producing meat that is lean and has high quality.

In the show ring, we had some firsts, thirds and fourths. Our two daughters were the top two in senior showmanship and in the top 30 in the overall competition.
