The Adventures of Porkchop Part 2~~

Back in September I posted about us getting a pig to raise for the meat. It's hard to believe it's been 5 months and that it is time to send it off to the Butcher. Quinn helped the Anderson's get theirs into the trailer a couple of weeks ago. So when we went to do ours today, he thought he had it all figured out. Well.....

Quinn backed up the horse trailer to the pig pen. We had it all blocked and had the pig come out of the pen. Well it ran under the trailer gate and through mine and Brycie's legs. Quinn chased it down. Then chased it some more..... And some more. Finally we got it back in the pen. Quinn grabbed it by the back legs and tried moving it in. He got it about half in the trailer and he ran back in the pen. After a bit we got it cornered between the pen, trailer and a barrier we had made. Quinn pulled it's legs and Levi pushed from the front and in he went. Mimi stood back and watched.... She didn't like the loud sqealing. I am sure all the neighbors heard it too.

After all that, we grabbed the Pizza from the oven and headed of to Malapi in Snowflake to drop it off. THAT.... thank goodness went MUCH smoother. We backed the trailer up and out he walked. I was surprised that the girls didn't cry.

We look forward to getting the meat in a few weeks. Anyway... here are some pictures of the days... Adventure with Porkchop..
