I have a picture of my 10 year old niece at a 4H meet kneeling beside her pig that just won a prize. I don't know enough to tell you what the prize was or even if that is what it's called. I can only tell you of her red-rimmed eyes and red nose from over an hour of crying.

You see, in the picture is my niece with her arm around her beloved pig that she nurtured from a tiny piglet. Also in the picture looking on proudly, is the butcher that just bought her piggy.
