💖 IF YOU GIVE A KID A PIG…

If you give a kid a pig, he’ll ask for a brush.
A soft one.
Then a hard one.
Then the exact brand some kid on TikTok swears turns pigs into grand champions overnight.

Once he has the brush, he’ll need soap.
Not human soap.
Not dish soap.
No… he’ll want the expensive purple stuff that smells like bubblegum and is somehow forty dollars a bottle.

And because he can’t carry all this with his tiny hands, he’ll want a show box.
A big one.
With drawers.
And stickers.
And a lock he will lose within twenty minutes.

🐷✨
Then he’ll ask you to go to the barn.
Every day.
Every night.
After school.
Before homework.
Before your coffee.

You’ll be tired.
You’ll be busy.
But he’ll insist with that wild, hopeful kid energy that melts your entire heart.
And you’ll go.

You’ll help him rinse and brush and walk circles in the dirt until the sun goes down.
He’ll say there’s still enough light.
He’ll say “just a few more laps.”
And you’ll believe him every time.

Before long, the barn won’t be enough.
He’ll want to go to a jackpot.
He’ll want the crisp show shirt, the starched jeans, the belt buckle he didn’t win yet but swears he will.

He’ll get dusty.
He’ll get sweaty.
He’ll get manure in places no child should ever get manure.
And he’ll laugh.

Soon he’ll want to learn how to drive pigs like the big kids.
He’ll watch YouTube videos.
He’ll practice his turns like he’s training for the livestock Olympics.
He’ll talk about top lines and muscle and structural correctness like he’s secretly in vet school.

Then he’ll want friends at the pens.
The late-night arena crew.
The kids who eat concession-stand nachos for breakfast and think electrolytes are a personality trait.

🐽
And then your life changes.
Lazy weekends? Gone.
Laundry? Forever stained.
Your yard? Looks like you abandoned it in 2008.

You’ll haul pigs, panels, gear, snacks, and feral children all over creation.
You’ll spend money you didn’t plan to spend on feed you didn’t plan to buy because apparently this pig needs “just a little more top-shape, Mom.”

Your weekends will be spent in a folding chair, sweating through your clothes, questioning every decision you’ve ever made.
His weekends will be spent becoming confident, capable, gritty, and proud.

He’ll grow.
He’ll learn responsibility.
He’ll win sometimes.
He’ll lose sometimes.
He’ll take both like a champ.

And one day…
He’ll walk into that show ring and finally place.
Or finally win.
Or finally drive that pig exactly how he’s always imagined.
And the look on his face will steal your breath.

Because suddenly…
He’s not your little kid anymore.
He’s a showman.
A competitor.
A young livestock handler who found his purpose in a pile of shavings and a pig that stole his heart.

❤️
And years from now…
He’ll be standing in his own barn.
That old sow will walk up to him.
He’ll scratch her forehead and remember every jackpot, every heartbreak, every late-night walk, every sunrise that changed him.

And he’ll realize…
When you gave that kid a pig…
You also gave him a childhood he’ll never forget.
A purpose.
A community.
A dream.
A place to grow brave.

And you’ll hug him.
Your eyes will leak.
And every sacrifice you made will hit you right in the heart.

Because you’ll know without question…

💗 You gave a kid a pig… and it changed everything.

Another busy day on the farm.
Family team effort, planted 50 trees. Mostly fruit but some Maples, Eastern Red buds, Eastern Hemlock and dog woods. More fencing and time with our expecting mommas.
Thanks to our boys Travis & Chase and bonus boy Connor for all your help over the past 2 weekends. We don't know what we would do without you.
