Hello my name is Ada Granger, thank you for considering investing in my future. I am 10 years old and this is my first year showing. I chose pigs because my family has raised them for years and I have a deep appreciation for these animals. I purchased my pig Prissy on October 31st from Bautsch farms in Winnie tx. At that time she weighed around 50 pounds. In 5 short months with a strict feeding regimen she has grown to a whopping 259 pounds as of March 15th. Our goal weight for show is 275 pounds. The challenges we had to overcome in this time were many and my gilt just not filling out like we wanted quick enough. We worked hard day in and out and she has come such a long way. One of the biggest challenges I'd have to say is my own confidence. We are our own worst critics and I found out quickly your animal reflects your feelings and they have a sixth sense in the ring. I had to work hard to learn to harness my nerves so that Prissy was as confident in me as I was in her. Your purchase will help me with next year's project and I hope you know how much I appreciate your consideration and God bless.
