Greensboro

Last Saturday in conjunction with the Guilford Co fair, the Sandhills Rabbit Fanciers and the NCCavy Breeders Assoc. held a double show. It was not a large gathering,, only 70+ pigs, but,, I won Best In Show both shows with an American Solid Silver Sr. boar. This is not an animal that I bred, but rather bought back in January and he has come along nicely. For a reward, he got a sow,, which he is ignoring. Some cavies are,, well,, just pigs when it comes to breeding,, lots of noise and disorder,, some are gentlemen,, you never know when the deed is done, you just see the sow getting more rotund,, and then, there is a rather substantial group that simply isn't interested in females at all. Hopefully he is not one of those. The next show for me is the national ARBA show in Grand Rapids, MI,,, I have been trying to find an Appalachian State tee shirt to wear.

oh btw sheila, you're welcome to hold the baby as much or as little as you like. her favoite thing is to be held, if she can't have that, she wants to sit in her car seat. if you put her down she goes nuts. i've been told this will wear off in a month or so, so we'll see how it is come november.
