Pigskin round up! And I don’t mean Football!

Super bowl Sunday will forever be a day for us to remember…not because of the great game played by the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburg Steelers, but because of what we did before the game……..

As some of you may know, our friends have been raising pigs for meat for the last few months. The time has come for them to meet their maker!




The thought was that this was going to be an easy task, build a run or chute and open the fence and they will just run right on down it into the waiting trailer at the other end. HA HA HAHAAAAAA HAHAAAA

The pigs had a different idea. “Stupid humans, think they can get us in that trailer! Ha, let’s act like we are co-operating and then at the last second run them over in the mud/poo!”




Well that’s exactly what they did for about 2 hours!
We finally got smart, got a rope, herded one out at a time, grabbed it by the tail, roped its leg and drug it done the 50’ chute to the trailer! We had to do this with the first 3, and then finally the last 2 followed their leader to the trailer! Wow, what an adventure that was!!! We laughed so hard and are still laughing. That meat better be the best tasting pork ever!!! And I am sure it will be!

Justin and Marshall pulling the pig.....


Can you see Marshall laughing in this one???

Justin got hit in the head with the poo covered rope, by Marshall. OOPS! He even has a scratch!


I just had to add this picture. Cause its funny. And I like funny things.

We rarely eat pork. Sometimes bacon... once every six months. I think it's because the idea of eating a cute pig makes me sick. Weird.

You are the only girl I know that can look at a cute litte animal and know that you are going to be munching on them later...and LIKE it! You are wild. Absolutly. Never were cut out to be a vegetarian were you?

If I was there I might have started crying, now wouldn't that be funny!

That last picture, yah, that's pretty hilarious. To bad they are going to DIE!

Mwhhhhh, ha haaa......(evil laugh)

For the record, Pigs are NOT cute. Maybe when they are pigglets, but these 250+ lb pigs covered in there own poo are not in any way cute. And yes I can not wait to eat them!!!

We buy a cow with Jerry's family every year and every year we are asked if we want to go pick it out. Never, not once ever, have I wanted to see the cute cow that will become my dinner. (cows aren't even cute!) But I still love meat, and pork and chicken. Nice poo filled pictures.
