My favorite pig šŸ·

​Hello, my name is Nevaeh! welcome to my blog, The Daily Oink. 

I’m gonna be talking about my favorite pig and why. 


This pig was my favorite pig. His name was BB short for bucking bronco. 

This pig had good muscle quality, perfect amount of protein, nice walking ability, and most of all listened amazingly. 

This type of breed is a Berkshire. Most Berkshires are black pigs sometimes they will have a white feet or a belt.. 

This pig was my best friend for 5 months until he had a hernia and he had to go be put down. It was very sad and heartbreaking. I was devastated to see BB go through this. He was an incredible pig, he was full of energy and he was so happy to be around. Tacking care of him was not a chore. It was something I looked forward to every morning and night going to the barn and seeing him. BB was my favorite pig of all time.

Berkshires are popular show pigs known for their distinct black and white markings, excellent carcass quality (marbling), and strong genetics for show ring success. 

During 1823 the first Berkshire was exported to the USA. Its popularity was reflected in the show ring as by 1877, Smithfield offered separate Berkshire classes and during the last 17 years of the 19th century, the breed produced 12 Smithfield champions, including pigs exhibited by members of the Royal Family.

They're known for their calm, friendly demeanor, intelligence, and efficient growth, making them a favored heritage breed for both show rings and gourmet markets.

Welcome to my blog, my name is Nevaeh Warmington.  I’m diving into a world of pigs! Whether you’re curious about their day-to-day lives, looking for tips on how to care for these amazing animals or trying to figure out the best breeds to show or keeping as a pet; you came to the right place.  My journey into this world of hogs started unexpectedly. I was just a high school student with zero agricultural background and suddenly faced the responsibility of caring for my first hog in FFA . I was completely clueless to the point where I was watching YouTube videos on how to show a pig . One day, my freshman year of high school, in the middle of it all my pig got sick. I had no clue what to do so I called in the vet. Little did I know that phone call would change my life. This wasn’t just any vet visit. She didn’t treat my pig. She took the time to teach me. She understood my lack of experience and she guided me through every step from recognizing my pig with sickness to admi...

The Daily Oink!

Hello, welcome back to my blog! My name is Nevaeh!  I am going to be talking about pigs day to day life as a show pig!  From my time raising show pigs, I learned that starting the day bright and early was key. My pigs would be up and moving first thing, getting outside to stretch their legs and run around before breakfast, which was always served by 10 AM. After that, I'd head off to my own activities, returning in the evening for a walk around, either in the barn or outside, pig whip in hand. A couple of laps in our concrete front yard added a bit more exercise and training. Once that was done, my pig would get some free time in the field while I prepped the food. Every morning and night, my pig ate 2 quarts of beet pulp and 2 quarts of Show-Rite pig feed. Sometimes, I'd mix in half a quart of oats, and for really good behavior, a little treat like a marshmallow or a peach ring. This was our weekday routine. Weekends were more intense because I had more time. After the mornin...
