Oh Kruse Jackpot 2/2/2008

This weekend the whole family went to our first of many hog shows that the girls participated in. The whole gang was on the road Saturday, pigs and all, by 7am. Jayson and I were quite impressed with our organizational skills. Its amazing what we can accomplish when we actually plan something. The girls did great. Jenna is a natural in the show ring, Im sure she will be an excellent showman in the near future. She manuevered her Duroc gilt(Daisy) through the ring with ease. We she left the ring she shook the judge's hand and said thank you with a big smile. Yep, she's pretty amazing. We were a little nervous about Julia in the ring but she did great. She showed her york barrow, Chad.(Pretty funny name for a pig. Don't know where she came up with it. WE dont even know any Chads. Hehe.)She was very calm. She's pretty shy so it was easier for her to concentrate on her pig and not the judge. Once Jayson told her to move her hog to the middle where the judge was, she did just fine. Pretty impressive for a five year old, except Jayson didnt groom her properly before she went in the ring. She had her shirt untucked and one pant leg tucked in her boot. Oh well. We are very excited for our next show, which is this weekend at Fresno State.
