Miles & Mountains

Jaxi Part II


Listen Later

We bring Jaxi back to answer the questions we missed: how she picks a show pig, trains with simple routines, navigates judges’ preferences, and handles the emotions of sale day. The story blends genetics, mentorship, and grit, with laughs about marshmallows and sandwiches.

• why part two matters and what we missed
• how genetics and breeder trust guide selection
• the role of the ag teacher in sourcing pigs
• earning trust through consistent feeding and work
• when a pig “goes sour” and what to do
• the three-week break-in and desensitising plan
• using marshmallows as rewards without wrecking diets
• slop, attitude shifts, and daily handling
• deciding between selling and butchering after the big show
• setting boundaries to manage attachment
• encouragement for new FFA and 4-H families
