4-H&FFA Swine at 2015 Super Fair - 145

4-H and FFA youth in the swine (hog or pig) animal science project learn how to raise, take care of, and show swine. The 4-H/FFA Swine Show at the Lancaster County Super Fair includes Showmanship, Breeding Gilts, Market Classes, Pen of Three, and a Carcass Contest.

 

Lancaster County has a Pick-a-Pig 4-H club which provides urban youth the opportunity to participate in a 4-H livestock project. Local producers purchase and house the project pigs, leasing them to the 4-H’ers. This year, Pick-a-Pig members watched these baby pigs being born.

 

In Nebraska, the 4-H youth development program for ages 5-18 is part of University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension. Learn more about Lancaster County 4-H at lancaster.unl.edu/4h. Learn more about FFA, Future Farmers of America, at www.ffa.org.
