Some things are scarier than others.  The fact that I am allowed near a keyboard can be scary.  Anything that has to do with a doe goat (no matter the age) can be scary.  Hog shows–scary.

But then, when the baby of the family finally passes his drivers test (although he has been a daily driver for years), it can get scary.  Duke has had to deal with not properly parallel parking and failure to come to full and complete stops.  But he is finally legal.  His driving really isn’t scary.  He doesn’t speed.  Heck, this kid has never done anything fast.  I will bet that if he does get a speeding ticket, it will be on the way to the nearest pond to go fishing.

It was almost 90 degrees here on Thursday.  Today, below freezing.   The wind had been absent for awhile but it showed up with a vengeance on Thursday.  Brutal.

The first day of the WW pig show is in the books. Day 2 tomorrow.  We are real proud of Kaylee Holt and her hog showing abilities.  Her hard work is paying off as she showed the champion Duroc barrow, res. champion Berk barrow, a class winning cross gilt and a 2nd place Berk gilt.  This kid is wicked good on the end of a hog stick.  She is also a very accomplished public speaker and livestock evaluator.  And in the spirit of FFA week, it needs to be noted that her dad was an ag teacher, an uncle used to teach ag and mom’s dad was a career ag teacher.  The Holt family does this pig deal 100% as a family. It’s pretty cool.

It has been a couple of days since I have seen Duke’s wethers.  I hope to see them before Sunday, but who knows.  One thing about the Kelln kids and their show projects.  They are in charge of feeding and exercising because if the day2day relied on me, it wouldn’t get done right.

Have a good one and a better tomorrow.
