HAY SPRINGS – Ethan and Kylee Skinner each grew up on ranches and showed pigs. It was the pigs that brought them together.
“We’ve had a lot of sows I’ve really liked growing up, but when I was younger, in 2015, I had two favorite ones,” Kylee said. “They were named Dottsy and Petunia and were ones that Ethan had bred for us. One day when I was a freshman in high school, Ethan came to pick those two sows up from our house, and my mom told me I should go out and talk to him, so I did. But it wasn’t until three years later in 2018 that we started dating. It all kind of started with my favorite pigs in a way.”
