𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗞 𝗬𝗢𝗨 to each and every one of you that came by, bid, and bought pigs from us this season. We appreciate both our returning show families and those of you joining us this year!
Key points for best results:
- We will be glad to assist you through your project from start to finish.
- If you have someone 𝒔𝒖𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒇𝒖𝒍 advising you, please stick with them. We all want the same end results, we just take different paths. If you jump around, you will not be as successful at the finish line.
- If you would like our help:
1. Text both Kotton & Lyndi in a group message,
2. Send a video of the pig being walked like it’s
in a show ring. We want to see all 4 sides.
3. Include weight, feeding ration, and date of
endpoint. If you don’t hear back in 24 hours,
send a reminder text! Life gets busy.
4. We are glad to look at your pig in person, you
are welcome to bring them by anytime I’m
home. We have a walking area for you. I do
not have the capacity to make barn visits
everywhere.
5. It’s not 1999. Skin care and showmanship
are 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙩 no matter what anyone says.
-There’s a difference between feeding pigs and dumping feed. Take the time to watch them eat and get to know them. If anything changes, you will know to reach out to a veterinarian or one of us.
- Find a veterinarian & build a relationship!!! We use Dr. Tobin Pennington (Mobile large animal vet out of Calallen)
-WATER. Even if they are on auto water ni***es, check daily as you can get buildup and decrease flow.
- We have sheep & have had goats, but I promise nothing dies easier and tries to kill itself faster than pigs and horses 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑟. If they have a deep cough call the vet immediately. If they are not eating, call the vet. I am NOT licensed to treat your animals (even though sometimes I think I deserve an honorary DVM at them end of my name.)
-Saying “It’s my kids project, they do it all by themselves” is not a positive. Teams win championships. Whether it’s a team of other players or a single player with coaches behind them supporting and guiding them.
