We wanna Give a Special THANK YOU to Lazy Oak Genetics for allowing us to purchase this animals private treaty and giving us a HUGE start to get this show year starting

Congratulations !!!!!!!! Jay hats off to you and your whole family in this weekends accomplisments. TY Clark and the Lazy Oak Family Congrates to you as well in producing this great hogs. Jay & Ty looks like you all have made a great team in producing and raising this good quality hogs. keep it up Congrates once again!

good job jay i saw that barrow and MAN he is stout,heavy muscled,and a HUGE chest floor. i really liked him and good thing you won the class i still think you should of WON the champion overall your duroc looked way better than the hampshire that won

No Thanks needed Jay. I am very proud of Cassandra, There is not a better feeling than seeing a wonderful young lady succeed in the show ring with a hog that I raised. To see the smiles on the faces of these young girls and boys is priceless and makes everything I do worth it.

Miss nono Thanks for the kind words Our hogs had a great weekend all across the state. To go along with Cassandras Duroc barrow recieving Reserve Grand Champion We also had Kaitlyn Eben of Buda 4-H and her York gilt Win Grand Champion Overall and Travis Kinsey of Lanier FFA and his York barrow won Grand Champion Overall this weekend at local Prospects shows. The 2 yorks were bought at our Open House Pig Sale in Oct and the Duroc was bought at the farm private treaty. We have had numerous champions throughout the early show season but nothing like the success we had this past weekend. I am very excited for January to come and get these big shows started. Thanks again Jay and miss nono for the compliments. Keep up the great work Aguilar Family and Cassandra.
Thanks Ty Clark

that barrow looks really good saw him as well and i think he would of been a great boar stud. good Job Aguilar Show team on raising this prospect keep up the great job .. see you tomarrow and hope you can pull it again..
