Mrs. Oinker at the Fair


  • Both Brandon and Mrs. Oinker did so well at the Kootenai County Fair & Rodeo!!






Mrs. Oinker placed 3rd overall out of 172 pigs! WOW, what a good pig Mr. B picked! (We had no idea what we were doing, he just picked the pink one he liked best) :)


  • This past week was sure a lot of work...but fun for Brandon, and he is so proud of himself! He placed 4th in his class for Fitting & Showing (how well he worked with his pig) and he did a great job! I am so proud!


We were at the fairgrounds by 6:30 at the latest and on the 3 show days...we were there by 10 to 5:00am YIKES! He did so well! He is still trying to catch up on his sleep, but he learned so much and had so much fun!


  • The last load out of Mrs. Oinker did bring a couple of tears, but he was just "hoping that she wasn't scaired" and that the butcher "would be quick and nice"...he is a marshmallow after all :)
