Lot # 108 - Tag 784 - Nate Thomas
Comments:
My name is Nate Thomas and I have a Hampshire Yorkshire cross pig named Moochie. Me and my dad constructed a pen with wood fences, hog panels, a shelter and an automatic waterer. We got the pig in January, from Small Town Genetics and due to the cold weather, we struggled with him gaining weight. We started with Show Rite feed at 19 percent protein. As Moochie, got bigger we switched to 15 percent protein and added Rule Supplements Thick and Formula. I practiced showing him by turning, walking and weighting him. When it started to get hot, I poured water into a small pit for them to cool off. This is my second year showing a pig at the Tehama District Fair and my second year in Westside 4-H. I am also the club treasurer. I go to Lava Charter School and like to play baseball, soccer, hunt and learn about history.
Additional Notes:
Westside 4-H - Grade: 5 - Animal's Estimated Weight: 210
