Pig School is a valuable experience for youth, parents, leaders, and agents of all skill levels. There are three days of very intense instruction with as much hands-on learning as possible. Each participant should bring at least one pig, but may bring two. In order to keep the groups small, the number of applications is limited to the first 50 on a "first come, first served" basis.
The subjects covered will be:
- Selection
- Nutrition
- Grooming
- Showmanship and sportsmanship
- Ethics
- Preparing for a fair
- Care during a fair
- Exercise
