Pitbull or Pig?

Hey guys for this blog there is a Warning::: DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE A PETA MEMBER, just go ahead and move to another web site.

Bruce and I are in Oregon and decided to attend the County Fair.  We went through all the barns...chickens, goats, sheep, pigs, bunnies, and of course beef cattle.  Thank goodness I couldn't get anything home or there would have been new critters at FairWinds!!

We watched working Quarter Horses and cowboys:) herd cattle and rope them...figuring our Rockies could do this...course they can do anything!!

Ate huge onion rings and the BEST corn dog.

 Ok, for the Highlight of the fair!!! The SWINE show.  And the first class was a show.  First, just let me say I picked the top two!! Yeah me!  Now there were 13 swine or pigs as I call them and they weighed 200-220 lbs.  So, 13 pigs with their handlers controlling them with taps from a show stick takes awhile to judge (although I had already picked the top two remember). Well, I guess this one pig thought it was time for the winner to be picked...So she started trying to "take out" the competition".... Oh yeah the fights were on!!!  I mean what happened to pigs just wanting to eat!  Seriously this pig (we nicknamed her Pitbull) was after every pig she could get to!  Grown men with board panels had to put the panels and themselves between them to break up the fights!!  We had never seen pigs shown before so this was quite an eye opener for us or at least me. WOW!! I tried not to LOL but I did giggle ALOT.  That pig was hilarious and fearless.  The class took so long some of the pigs were laying down, but not Pitbull, oh no she was still going!  I would like to add she got Reserve in the class and was escorted out with one of the panel guys and her handler:))

As we watched the final class of swine we enjoyed some awesome RIBS!  That was probably in bad taste...Oh well, they were great, and that one piggie made the whole fair experience more fun.  No one was hurt and Pitbull only had a few battle marks on her...just wondering if a tough pig makes for a tough Ham???

As for PETA, really kinda wished they had shown up with their foolishness...Figuring between Pitbull and the Cowboys they would have been "Run Out Of Town"
