Yesterday, my husband and I received the nicest thank you card from a future farmer in Hernando County. This young farmer's name is Tyler Sikes and he just happens to be the grandson of Juanita Sikes, our county tax collector. For the last several years, we have been assisting Tyler with donations so he can raise pigs for the Hernando County Livestock Show.
Tyler's pig, Milkshake, was the largest pig in the entire show this year. Milkshake and Tyler placed 2nd in their class and 13th out of the 49 total pigs that had entered the swine competition. Juanita said that Tyler had an extremely difficult time letting go this year when it came time to auction off his pig. He should be proud of his accomplishment though because the hams on Milkshake tipped the scales at 60 pounds (for each ham).
Congratulations to Tyler and all the other young adults that participated in the Hernando County Livestock Show.
