Tomball ISD FFA - Pig Show

Last Friday night was the Tomball ISD FFA show and my godson Blake showed his pig Mr. Oinkers.  This was his first year to show anything and he did a great job!  His pig was in the 7th class.  Blake did so good with showing him.  I was very proud of him.  They walk them around the arena and try not to used their hands to move them around.  They have a stick they use that helps guide the pig.  There is a judge that will walk around and look at the pig.  They will try and find the best one.  They look at his muscles, weight and I'm sure a few other things.  Blake ended up getting 8th out of his class and he also got showmanship which means he guided the pig correctly and worked well with him.  Because he got this he got to come back out at the end of the show and try to get a spot in the sale.  He did really good in the Showmanship class but unfortunately didn't get it.  By the time this took place Mr. Oinkers was over it and tired.  But they both did very well. 

Blake you did so good!!  I am very proud of you and can't wait to see what you raise next.
