Tell us a little bit about your champion:
Her name was Lettuce, which is short for “Lettuce -win”. She was from Maucks and was always one of my favorite pigs this spring. She was a sweet pig and loved to be brushed, sprayed and given baths. I hope she will be a good sow and have lots of babies, so I can buy one.
