  • Exhibitors will be required to feed and water their hogs in such a manner that pens are kept as neat as possible and free from mud.Supervisors are encouraged to advise their 4-H and FFA members about this rule and see that it is carried out to the fullest extent possible.
  • Each exhibitor must clean up their pen after the show.

NOTE:For your safety, the swine committee would like to request that exhibitors and spectators stay clear of the north end of the swine show arena area during the swine show.It is very difficult to move hogs in and out of the show arena with people standing in the area.
