4-H&FFA Swine at 2015 Super Fair - 018
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.
During check-in and weigh-in at the Lancaster County Super Fair (pictured), hogs are painted with numbers and paperwork is checked. Market hogs are weighed and carcass quality is calculated based on loin-eye measurement plus fat thickness (both are measured by ultrasound).
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.
