This weekend was all bout the pigs! It started Friday with Rehab the Boar at Pork Spectactular. An awesome boar that won the cross-bred boar title at Pork Spectacular. That night, we had our annual CPPA (California Pork Producers Association)meeting that included lots of good friends, a great dinner and a guest bartender, ME!
Its kind of my MO that I dont know who people are in the ag industry. I was making drinks for the Judge all night, and calling him Joe. Come to find out he was the Jim McCoy, the weekend judge for Pork Spectacular and owns the largest boar stud operation in the country. He's kind of a big deal! He didn't mind that I called him Joe though, he just like the way I dressed his Corona!
We sold Rehab the next morning then headed home to pick up the girls at Grandma's and move pigs into the fairgrounds for Red Wave. We had 6 head, and didnt have that great of a day in the ring, but enjoyed watching the girls show(or not show). We have a pretty efficient system going. Next year we need to make sure that we get pens closer to the show ring. Because we got there so early Saturday, there were still sheep in the pens closest to the show ring. Next time, we'll just claim the pens we want and wait for the sheep to get out before we unload. ( Im writing this so I can look it up next year!)
After the show, I went to pick up the babies at Aunties and Uncles, they stayed there all weekend. Boy, did I get there just in time. Auntie had just finished making food for the Superbowl. It was soooo amazing! I think she needs her own foodie blog. Everything she cooks is always the most delicious stuff Ive ever had. 2 yummy margaritas, good food, good company, and the most relaxing house in Fresno.
When I got home, I was absolutely pooped! The girls asked what was for dinner, and of course I had just ate, I told them to make their own dinner. You wouldnt believe what they made, Chicken with yellow and red peppers ( the chicken was leftovers). Jayda came in the family room and said she couldnt find the green stuff. (asparagus) Are you kidding me, of all the choices, my kids made a healthy one! Yes! I probably would have made an ice cream cone or something like that!
We all slept in this morning, and I went to the gym to visit Tanner, my trainer at 9:30, went grocery shopping, ate lunch, froze a bunch of lemon juice that we juiced today to save the 100+ lemons that Papa Gary brought for Julia, for her lemonade stand, cleaned up the kitchen, and now i just finished paying some bills.
This weekend we head to Western Bonanza in Paso Robles to Show on Saturday and Sunday. Just need to stay on top of the laundry, so i better get going!

yaya for the green stuff! :)
I think little kids showing hogs are so cute. Great to see them wanting to be involved in agriculture.
