Oh that is sooo cool! Most kids don't know a thing about farm animals! I love hearing this story!

Christian's pig (SpiderPig) won 3rd place in Middle Weight and Delaney's (BonBon) won 7th place in Light Weight. The auction is tomorrow. With the economy being down, they won't sell for as much this year, but the experience is worth lots.
I think BonBon will be on the smoker for our Barn Bash next month! I'll probably buy her!

It looks like the girls did very well on their 4H projects!! I'm sure that they've learned a lot from raising these animals. We've never been involved with 4H but I have neices and nephews that are. We don't raise any animals on our farm. No cows, no chickens, no pigs. Just dogs and a cat!!!
Poor Bon Bon!!! Headed for the smoker!! Yum!!!

I was a little surprised that these two got into 4H. They had done dance and cheer, but love being out camping, riding horses, and "country" stuff. I thought they were "city" girls, but they must have more of my blood in them than I thought.
Delaney loves softball and always picks it as her favorite thing to do. Christian made the Jr High Cheerleading Team for next school year picks that as her favorite thing to do. They are very dedicated to whatever they do, especially in church pagents and activities.

They are beautiful girls Sandy. I love 4H. My grandkids go. They're joining a new group soon. I don't know what their focus will be.
You should be very proud! By the way, I really love your avatar picture. You are very lovely.

Let's see, Christian's goat sold for $1600 and her pig sold for $1000. Delaney's pig sold for $400. Delaney's rabbits sold for $500 and Andrew's sold for $550.
Most sales were up a couple hundred dollars from last year. Since Lyondell is in bankruptcy, they weren't at the sale for the first time in forever. Arco Chemical didn't come and Wells Fargo didn't come. For the most part, you couldn't tell that the economy is bad, showing that we'll still do whatever it takes for our kids! Every kid in Andrew's Special Ed class enters a plant (store bought). Last year, Andrew's won Reserve Champion and sold for $700. This year, his plant won Grand Champion and sold for $900. The plant money goes to his class to pay for their field trips and activities. Judy, THANKS for the picture comment.
