 We started raising some show pigs here to let my son Tucker learn how to show and learn the responsibility of raising animals. We decided to take some of the pigs that we weren't going to use and try to help some of the other kids and so we gave a couple of them away and then that led into this whole program that we're doing now. We started in which would be the Fair of 2020 which we called the Super Swine Specialty Show with the Three County Fair and so we donate the pigs, we help them along, do the best we can, come showtime, they all show together in one class and pick the winners and it's based off of what the pig looks like, it's based off of how well they work with their pig, how well they've prepared with it, but it's also got a bookkeeping aspect, the records are part of it, agriculture promotion is going to be a new part of it that we're adding this year. So the event that we had here at the house this past weekend was actually where we gave the pigs away. It started last year we had seven kids that did it last year and then this year we put the feelers back out with the Fair Board and said you know any of the kids that it's Jackson Cross and Woodruff County that's our fair and anybody that wanted had kids that wanted to do it and it ended up growing into we had 13 kids this year and so we almost doubled in size. We had Woodruff County Farm Bureau sponsored the breakfast and drinks and Woodruff County Farm Bureau Women's Committee sponsored some little goodie bags. We had Sharp County Miss Teen Agriculture Natalie Lester, I hope I'm getting her title right. She came out and she gave a show pig basics. We had a big breakfast. They all drew numbers. Whoever gets first pick, they get to pick the first pig and they go they go from there. It's important to us to to try to help these other kids all that we can. I mean we've been blessed with with lots of things and we've been blessed to be able to do some some things that maybe other people can't and just think it's important that you know the the skills that the kids can learn from from showing livestock or growing anything or even sports or whatever it is. It's hard work, it's dedication, satisfaction of a job well done. You know the world needs good leaders. They need people that work hard. They need conflict resolution. They need all that kind of stuff. You need a lot of responsibility to keep up with your schoolwork and showing pigs. At the end of the day you need to work with your pigs. You need to keep their feed right. You need to build them up just as you need them to. And if you don't do that well one thing the pig won't turn out that good and another thing you're not learning that many skills because if you don't have it to where you can do that output and you can get something back from it get that self accomplishment that's very important. Another thing is building like a relationship with not just people but like animals. So like if someone originally didn't have a pet but now they have like a pig that they can show they can get in there they can brush on them they can talk to them they can have a friend. And it's just it's rewarding to us to be able to to help them out you know some of these kids or kids that would be able to show otherwise but a lot of them are some that that could and I was given that opportunity when I was in school had some help and we just try to give back and and hopefully that you know they gain something out of it you know you hear people all the time talk about what can be wrong with kids these days and what's going what's going wrong with the world but you know I tell them go talk to some stock show kids go talk to some of these kids that are raising animals at their house that are doing the work and you'll see what's right what's right with some of the youth that's there.
