Pig Weigh-In (June)

 It was pig weigh in to make sure the pigs were growing at a good pace & will be able to make weight by fair time (mid-August).

 So we made a chute with the straw.  And Emmalee climbed up to wait for the trailer to haul the pigs to the scale.

 And of course, Benjamin had to climb up with her. 

 Can you tell he is having fun?  (and don't you love the deceiving sunshine--but we are wearing our winter coats!) 

 The wind was pretty strong, and it was a bit chilly.  Hard to believe it's June 2nd. 

 Ben looking at the pigs basking in the sun (I guess they were trying to warm up).  We haven't had very many days of sunshine!

 Daddy makes a comfortable chair!

 Our pigs cooperate and get into the trailer without any problem (and so quickly I barely get a picture)!

 And they also got off to get weighed.

 Here's Callum's pig (Wilber)

 And we didn't have much of a problem getting them back into the trailer.

 And back into the pig pen at home.

 And the first thing they did was roll in the mud.

 Ah--nice!  

1 month ago Zane's pig=85 pounds.

June=150 pounds.  Only needs 60 pounds to make weight for fair.

1 month ago Callum's pig=135 pounds.

June=218 pounds.  His pig has made weight!  Now he's just growing for added money at the livestock sale.
