Lot # 11 - Tag 917 - Maddisen Pool
Comments:
Hello, my name is Maddisen Pool and I'm 10 years old. This is my 2nd year in Willows 4-H and my 1st year raising a market hog. I purchased my barrow, Hampshire cross who I named Oliver at the end of January. Olivers weight as of May 3rd was 254 lbs. and I estimate his weight to be 274 lbs. on May 15th. I have been working very hard with Oliver every day. You can find me out in his pen at least 2 times per day feeding, watering and caring for Oliver. I walk him every evening for at least 30 minutes and practice showmanship. My favorite part of working with Oliver is seeing him play in the mud and rubbing his side until he falls over so I can scratch his belly. While I will be sad to see Oliver go, I will be using the money I earn to first pay back my parents for the cost of the hog, feed and hog care items. Any left-over money will go into my savings account to help pay for next years hog project and eventually help pay for college. I would like to say thank you to the creators of the Glenn Ag Expo and the buyers, because without your support this would not be possible.
