  1. Thank you for all of the posts. Im not sure if yoou all know how the fair works but it sells by the pound and by where the judges rank it. There is grand champion, Reserve champion and so on. The higher the rank the more the pig goes for typically. I was told by one of our judges i had a chance of getting Grand Champion for the SR. class. I do not know what i will get till the fair date. Pigs at our fair go anywhere from $1000-$2500 for grand champion and there are 16 pigs that will be at our fair which is September 6-9. If you have anymore questions as to the fair i will answer them. As for my pig when i got him in April he weighed 70lbs now it weighs about 130-145 and by fair should be about 250 here are some of the pictures of when i got it and today! Sorry for the bad lighting on the pictures. Thank You!

    When i first got it

  3. We were talking about this in my AG class the other day and I dont see how it is any different than slaughtering a Beef? People say it is different because people think of them as pets but I have many friends who have cows and they are more of pets than a horse, shoot there is even people who have saddled up cows and trained them to ride like a horse. As long as they arent cruel to them I dont care.... But that is just my $0.02!!
