Market Swine Rules
Chairman: Wesley Salas
Advisor: Katlyn Jumper
The market swine division is subject to all rules listed under the general rules.
An entry of $30.00 is due at the time of small animal tag-in.
Any breed or crossbred barrow or gilt may be exhibited, but must be of show quality.
Hogs must be owned and fed by the exhibitor under the supervision of the agriscience instructor or 4-H swine leader.
Hogs will be weighed-in from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. on the Wednesday of the show week. Hogs must weigh-in on official scales to be eligible to show. Hogs not making weight will have the opportunity to be backed off the scales, scales will be checked for balance, and the hog will be reweighed immediately. If the hog still does not meet weight requirements, the exhibitor will be allowed to weigh back in again before the weigh-in period is over. Qualifying weights are 220 to 290 pounds with a five (5) pound weight tolerance. No prelim scales will be used. Exhibitors may only cross the official scales at the time of weigh in.
Hogs that are not unloaded before 7:00 p.m. will not be allowed to weigh-in and will be released immediately. Hogs that do not make the weigh-in will be released immediately following the weigh-in.
Absolutely no shots or any other type of aids may be given to hogs in order for them to make the weigh-in. Hogs must be in show condition at the time of the weigh-in. No drenching will be allowed.
All hogs in the show must remain on the grounds until the Sunday after the show.
No feed or feed buckets in aisle(s). No hay allowed in pens. Only pelleted shavings will be allowed in pens.
Market Hog showmanship will be divided into a junior and senior showmanship. One showman from each division will be selected.
No show aids other than soap and water will be allowed on the day of the show. Violators will not be permitted to show their pig.
