We are so proud of all of our grandchldren and all of their accomplishments.
I started raising hogs by going with my dad and grandfathers to buy feeder pigs and I believe they taught me precious values. I raised hogs, with the help of my younger brother, to help pay for college . I would spend my weekends caring for the animals and stocking up for the week while I was away. When our children were old enough for 4-H we bought their animals, like a lot of people, and soon learned it was hard to find quality animals at a decent price. My wife and I decided maybe we could help other kids in our area by raising a few pigs and offering kids who might not have a project an opportunity to buy a quality healthy pig at a decent price. It gives us a lot of pride in seeing other kids, not just our kids, show our animals. I have one simple rule, treat people with honesty and integrity. Pat Marchino
