Livestock Show and Sale
In this project, youth ages 5 to 19 obtain a feeder pig in January,
raise it for around three months and show the finished hog at the
annual Livestock Show and Sale. Prize money, trophies and ribbons will
be awarded.
The weigh-in will be at the Floyd
Johnson Technical Center, 1010 Devinney Road, York on Thursday, January 7 from 4:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. The show will be held on Saturday, April 10, 2010. These dates are tentative.
We are pleased that we have found
a local vendor to supply feeder pigs. We are in deliberation with the
vendor for cost. The final cost will depend on the weight of the pigs, and the
pigs will be distributed by a draw. Participants can purchase their
pig independently of the Extension Service. The United Way of York County is our show sponsor.
You must preregister to participate in this project by November 15 by calling or e-mailing, Margie Sippel, 803-684-9919 x113, msippel@clemson.edu
