She's SOME PIG!
Two weeks ago Parker and Bruce went to the auction in Huntly, Montana. It is about an hour Northeast of Billings. This was Parker's first time at a an auction. He learned a lot and picked out his choice of the top four pigs. This pig was his #1 choice. He had 20 other people bidding against him but he was the last one standing. Way to go bud. She weighed in at 75 this week. By the time Fair comes around in August he should be up to around 270lbs, we're hoping.
She is a gild, which in pigology is a female pig. In the past Parker has always raised a burrow, (a male pig). To educate all those that are interested (pigology 101) she is a Yorkshire/Hemp cross. More Hemp, that is why she's black with a white belt.
We have been trying to think of a name. Bailey came up with a great one: Barbie Q. Parker states that he doesn't want to name her. Any great ideas?
Just to reassure all of you that we are safe up here in Montana from the swine flu. I believe this is how it is passed and I assure you we have kept clear of this kind of contact.

Congrats on the pig Parker. My name suggestion might be something like, "Paris the Pig Hilton".
Swine flu has to be the biggest hoax since the Y2K fiasco.
hey stop that child, what is she doing? Congrats on the pig. How much did he get her for at the auction, to outbid everyone. Good job.
wow, i can't wait to meet the pig! and to see all of you...we are excited!
great picture! thanks for the lesson on pigology. i'm now more knowledgeable and wiser for it. Maybe it will win me a round in trivial pursuit someday :)
