We raise them and sell them for breeding stock and take them to the fairs and take them to the market. I've learned about raising pigs all my life. when i was eight years old my father gave me a litter of pigs and i've raised them all by myself sometimes i have to go around and check the baby pigs and make sure they're all right they squeal a lot when you pick them up but it really doesn't hurt them when you check them Most time, pigs just eat and sleep. Pigs like to lay around and everything.
They lie in the mud, but the only reason they do it is keep their skin moisturized and keep bags off of them. Harvey. Come here, Harvey. Come on. Come here. Come on, Harvey. Come here, Harvey. Harvey, come here. Come here, Harvey. Come here, I'm going to scratch. Most pigs like to be scratched, but all pigs like to be fed and everything. I show my hogs at a lot of the county fairs around and at the American Royal and the state fair. Tonight we're loading the pigs on the track so we can take them to the Royal where
we're going to show them this weekend. This pig's name is Maggie. I'm going to show her to Aurora because I think she has a good chance of winning. She has a large hand. She walks good. She's just an all around good pig and everything. Everybody in the family helps with the hogs. There's a lot of things you have to do to get ready to show a hog. One of the things is wash a pig. Pigs are really clear in most animals even though they do say pigs are real dirty and everything. After you wash a hog you have to powder it. The reason we powder a hog is to make it look real white and so it appeals to the judge down or jowl's good yeah down in there down yeah down in there you're getting in front of him you're over driving him you're crowding him
my father gives me pointers on how to drive a hog stick just a little bit to guide him not your hands quite so much come on turn him around there now now follow right alongside of You get nervous and they'll get nervous. Let's go, Mark! The American Royal is one of the larger shows in the United States. When you show a pig at a ferry, you drive it around for the judge to see so you can tell what kind of pig it is and see its hand and how it moves. It takes lots of years of practice to learn how to show a pig real well. Now the results for the championship showing for Chester Whites.
The champion went to a pig shown by Mike Howell, Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. the reserve champion to Mark Kelly of Kearney, Missouri. if you could be any kind of animal what kind of animal would you be a dog a dog a what I think that I'd be a reindeer.
A rabbit. A rabbit. Cat. Sparrow. A horse. A monkey. Because I could climb trees and swing on trees with my tail. Giraffe. Tiger. A raccoon. Because they have hands like us and they can pick things up with them. A horse. It's like a gorilla. If I could have any animal, I think I'd have a monkey that's trained. I love monkeys that are trained. They're so cute. A monkey and a lion. But I'd like a cat. I'd like to ride. The responsibilities of the horse are incredible, though. I know. But I still really want it. Get up and brush it every day and curry it. Feed it. Feed it. And you have to take care of all its illnesses and everything. The only pets I ever had was a turtle. But I had seven of them. Sammy the first, Sammy the second, Sammy the third, Sammy the fourth, Sammy the fifth, Sammy the sixth,
Sammy the seventh. And Sammy the first lived for two and a half years. But all you need, all you need is you say, Sammy, come here. And they say, what's Sammy? They all come. My friends, they have two cats. There's one is Princess and one is Squeak. And Squeak had a litter. and all the cats and all the kittens in the litter died. They just died. No, it was Princess. No, they just died. It was Princess who had the litter and all the cats died. And Princess really loved her cats and she was so attached, she was so sad and stuff. And then Squeak had a litter and Squeak was more rough with them and stuff. So Princess would always come around and play with the kittens. This is an incredible story for a turtle. um sammy the fourth um and one day we went shopping and he was out of the ball and we couldn't find him and we looked all over the house and and this is in my grandfather's house and where he lives there's the commode and then there's the dining room and then there's the
front room and then there's long steps down and then there's like a little register and the door behind it he was behind the door down all the steps and around the register and down he went all the way from the commode. If all the cats and turtles are one thing, what a lovely cat turtle that would be. Meow. Meow. Meow. Meow, meow. Meow, meow. Meow. Meow. Ribbit, ribbit. Ribbit, ribbit. Meow. On my feet. I know.

Description
Series Description
"ZOOM is a children's show comprised of weekly half-hour episodes which showed what youngsters do and think. Seven ZOOMers hosted each episdoe, and the cast changed over run of series. ZOOM premiered locally as ""Summer-Do"" in 1970, and premiered nationally in January 1972. ZOOMers played games, told jokes, riddles (called Fannee Doolees) and stories and did crafts projects...and invited ideas from their audience. The result was an avalanche of ZOOMmail - in the first season, over 200,000 letters. Additionally, the Ubbi Dubbi language was invented by ZOOM."
