Lot 77 - ALLISON SCAMARDO - HOGS

Grade 7 - HOGS - Howdy! My name is Allison Scamardo. I am in seventh grade and this year I raised a pig for the first time for a 4-H project. My gilt’s name was Betsy.  From working with Betsy I learned to be more patient. While I practiced walking her she would sometimes be disobedient and not go where I wanted her to. In the beginning I would become upset and frustrated but towards the end of my project I learned to stay calm and continue trying. On weekdays I would go before school with my dad to feed the pigs.  Another way I spent time working with her was when I would train her to walk.  Every Sunday, my dad and I would get together with my cousin and uncle and wash and walk the pigs. In conclusion I grew to be friends with my pig and learned from this project.
