This is the Rockport Colony, where we got our pigs.
It is located between Browning & Great Falls (in the middle of nowhere).

The squealing was a little too much for TJ's ears.

Wow, my comment is going right next to Matthew's--it's almost like I've talked to him personally! HI MATT! :-)
I still think it's just wrong to have your kids go see the cute little porkers and make friends with then, knowing their future fate. How cruel is that?! I bet the kids won't be smiling quite so big next time! ;-)
This wasn't the first year the kids have seen the pigs before eating them. :)
Aww, shucks. I didn't get to post right next to you, Becky. But I don't trust my food unless I can look it in the eye before I eat it!
Truly an Eskimo sentiment, I'm sure.
And Matt, if I was ever in a group of people who were lost in the woods, I would want you to be there.
"If I was there, we wouldn't be LOST in the woods!"
Remember?! Ha!
