A Day @ the Farm

Just a look into one of our days @ our friends farm. This is where Parker's pig lives until he takes him

to fair in August. It is just five minutes from our house. It is beautiful here. Plenty of room for
the little pigs to run around. They are not so little anymore. When he first came to the farm he was weighing in at 45 lbs and now he is weighing in at 140 lbs. He is averaging about 2-3lbs per day. He hopes to have him to 240 lbs. by fair.
Parker, along with his three friends that do pigs, walk their pigs, clean their pens, water and feed them each day. I never thought that when we moved to Montana we would become "Pig Farmers".
