Hi, my name is Leah Fadenrecht. I am 17 years old, and this is my first year in the Swine project. My pig's name is Elvis Pigsley. She (yes, it is a girl, there are very few funny names for a gilt) is a very happy and exciting pig. She loves to walk up behind you and try to push you over, especially when you are feeding her food. I have two pigs, but (shh) Elvis is my favorite.
I have been in other projects in 4-H, and have been participating for four years. Even though this is my first year in the Swine project, I have enjoyed it immensely, even through all of the Covid chaos. My brother, Matthew, and I have had a lot of fun with our pigs. We took good care of our pigs, watering them every hour (if not more) because of how extremely warm this season has been. Did you know that pigs can't sweat? That's why we had to water them down often, otherwise they'd overheat!
The most exciting part of the project was when we first got our pigs, and they were just small babies. They were adorable and small. As they grew and grew, I would say the hardest part of the project would have been walking them. Elvis was always very excited to get out of the pen for a bit and run around. She may have been a little too high energy for a pig. I loved this project, and I hope to this again next year!
