Hunter takes time before going into the show ring to explain to his pig the importance of giving the judge plenty of opportunities to make a proper evaluation.
Once in the ring he did an excellent job, keeping his pig in the judge's line of vision, and on the move, but not taking away from others who were showing with him.
Only a few steps into the show ring and... Here comes the judge!
Caitlin stepped right out with confidence and showed her pig quite well. She was very prepared and knew just what to do, keeping her pig in motion, parading for the judge to see. She was asked to return to the ring to participate in the Jr. Showmanship Competition to end the show.
Not all of the entries can be "numero uno," but we had high hopes for our pigs.
The judge did like the way our pigs looked, because he looked them over...
more than once.

competitors, but when he asked how many pounds her pig was fed each day, she only knew the number of coffee cans she served each morning and evening! I'll bet next year she'll know!
Caitlin talks to the judge.
At the end of the day, Caitlin still loved her pig! See her give it a kiss?!
Nanna and Pappy are so proud of their Prince competitors
in The Bandera Jr. Livestock Show!
Good Job Hunter-5th place
and
Caitlin-6th place!
