funny so um tell us just a little bit about your background of how you maybe you got got started raising show pigs what that kind of looked like for you

um well i grew up uh when i when i was born or when i was little uh my dad ran a commercial sow farm ran about 50 sows um kind of a farrow to wean type scenario would sell feeder pigs and then he also was a small grain farmer And both sides of my family, my granddad as well, who's still alive, farmed as well.

So I definitely had an agricultural background.

We were never like real big farmers, but my dad would always say, hey, we're hobby farmers because he always enjoyed, you know, livestock and agriculture and farming.

So I always had a fascination with pigs and always enjoyed the pigs, probably more than anything.

I was telling the boys the other day, we're building a new sow barn and where we're building that sow barn at, I was working ground when I was like six years old with my dad.

We were farrowing sows at the same time and He asked me that day while I was working ground, he said, do you want to keep working ground or do you want to go in the faring house? And I couldn't have jumped off that tractor quick enough.

Or, I mean, what, how, how does that go? And, and how does, how is, how is that handled?
