Showing Hogs

The art of showing hogs is quite simple. All you need is a pig and a cane. First, you must wash your pig so that it is nice and clean. Then, you need to dress up, for example, shirt and tie. To show a pig, you hold a cut-off cane, or whip in one hand, and guide the pig around the show ring. And remember always to watch the judge and have a smile.

This photo was taken at the 2002 state fair. When people get this good at showing hogs, judges knock points off your score for posture, and the pig's cleanliness.

This is an excellent close-up shot of a well dressed boy showing a very clean hog. He also has an excellent guiding instrument.

Remember that showing hogs is for people of all ages. This old grandma is 67 years old.
