Smith's AA Swine Farm

03/28/2023

Most of you know AA Swine Farm has retired. Out with the Old (Cindy and I) in with the young. Makaila and her family are spot in with their program. We expect them to learn, grow and continue to make very nice showpigs. These 2 litters are impressive for their age, can’t wait to see them on feed.

We are so honored and so proud of these young ladies. Robin, Laynie....... Thank you for finding the Grand and Reserve Champion Lake County market hogs in our barn❤️

Way to represent. Sorry it’s taken so long to recognize

And EVERYONE else who exhibited any specie and chose to focus on a normal summer, not the “new normal”

Iyali, your drive and focus in the barn does not go unnoticed. You got this. Thank you for everything🤜🤛

Thank you for visiting the Showpig.com skillathon resource page. We have put together some materials to help exhibitors jump to the next level. This is a one-stop-shop to find skillathon study materials. We have recommended what age group could best benefit from each resource, but feel free to check...

Well, dang it. Rumor is that there may not be a County Fair😡. It is still early🤞🤞
My sources say there will be a show and a sale of some kind❤️
To help minimize any possible exposure; we have made the decision to not have our barn sale, but instead to have a lottery drawing for the pigs in our barn. This will be indiviidual selection and pickup.
Some folks have already contacted us.
If you need to confirm, or get on the list; please call the house phone and leave a message with your name, contact number, club or chapter and the number of pigs you will be purchasing.
Pigs will be $350.0 and will be available for pickup beginning 5/8
We will call you individually to arrange a day & time to preview and pickup
We believe that current situations could certainly provide a market later in the summer for “home grown” products. There will be a lot of businesses who have survived this and will still be looking to support our youth animal agriculture exhibitors. Our community will come together, again.🤜🤛🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

We are still moving forward with plans for our May 9th barn sale. We have 6 very nice litters of crossbred show pigs for early August-early September shows.
I will update with pictures and breedings soon. We will also keep in mind the changing conditions and requirements of the COVID-19 virus and address that as needed.

We would like to thank Potter Valley 4-H Swine Project for their farm visit to see what we do in our barn and what’s up with our program
Thanks for the asking for a visit. We are more than happy to accommodate.
Your crew was awesome.

That's what's up!

When you give a kid a pig, you give them room to grow up as a person where they can push their limits. They will have bravery and courage while they learn about LIFE and build memories.

Our last sow to farrow and her litter.
Farrowed 2/13/20.
They are crossbred. Wedding Blues (Ottenwalters) on a Yorkshire sow.
She was a bred gilt purchased from Robertsons in Missouri several years ago. Thank you Codyand Akaela. She has always produced top of class or class winning pigs. We really look forward their progress and continued success.

Decades of continuous improvement have resulted in better care for pigs, better pig nutrition and greater safety for farm workers.
