BEJL Market Hog Carcass Contest

Carcass data actuals will be measured and calculated on all Market Hogs. Based on calculated results, the winners will be awarded premium prize money. 

 

Swine Display Contest: An award will be presented to the best display. The displays can be done by an individual, family, club or chapter. The display will be judged on cleanliness of the pens, organization of materials and overall effect of the display. Displays must be finished by noon on Thursday. 

 

With the hog show increasing in popularity, space is limited. If single hogs are penned and it becomes necessary to put two or more hogs in the pen, it will be the responsibility of the exhibitors to cordon off the pens as necessary to accommodate the need. Unwillingness to follow the direction of the hog directors will result in disciplinary action with removal of your animal from the show. Refer to the code of ethics.
