Junior Fair Market Hog Show

A judging event for youth participating in the swine project is held in the Junior Livestock Building. Swine are evaluated based on their functionality, structure, balance, and attractiveness. The Market Hog Show is a terminal show, meaning that all youth exhibitors must be certified annually in Meat Animal Quality Assurance (MAQA) and attend educational project meetings throughout the year. The friendships forged during this experience can last a lifetime, and the knowledge and leadership skills gained help develop these young individuals into outstanding future professionals. Please support local youth by attending the event, applauding their efforts, and congratulating them on their hard work.
