Hi! Thanks for taking a moment to stop and read all about me and my pig. My name is Billy Adams and I am in market swine and leather craft. My pig this year is Sophie Devereaux. She is a Birkshire spotted cross, and honestly a crazy charachter of a pig. My brothers and sisters and I raise our own pigs, Sophies mom was a gilt named Spooky, I bought from my moms former Ag teacher last year and her dad was my all time favorite pig EEk. He passed away this year shortly after sophie and her siblings were born. It was sad but he was pretty old and had done a good job for us for 10years. I named her Sophie Devereaux after a charachter I liked who was loveable but a thief. My sophie would grab anything she could and make a break for it, feed pans, sticks, feed sacks, brushes, the hose...literally anything she could steal. She spends her time full of energy running around theiving as she goes but making us all smile in the process. She is a really sweet pig and LOVES goat milk. My sisters have a dairy herd and give alot of their excess milk to the pigs. She was not the easiest pig to train because she would rather just run around like a maniac, but I still had fun. I really like that we all can call dibs on our pigs they day they are born and get to watch every step as they grow. All three of my older siblings have their lives kinda planned out. But to be honest I cant decide between being an electrician like my dad or becoming a history professor. I love all things historical and love to share that with those around me. I still have alot of time to choose who I want be later, so right now Im going to be Billy Adams hog farmer extrordinaire and history nut. I actually cant lay claim to the hog farmer thing alone. My brothers and sisters and I raise our own pigs as a team. 4-H has been a great way for me to earn money doing something I'd probably be doing anyway. I plan to save as much as I can for my future, whatever it will be...(and probably buy a truck too ). Thanks for reading all about me and Sophie Devereaux and for your sake I'm glad its a virtual sale because with Sophie around you'd definitely have to watch your wallets!! Please dont forget to look for my sisters Janey with her pig and Elle with her pain in the butt goat. They are here too. Enjoy!
