Lower his feed a bit. I've heard people use 2 qaurts of cranberry juice every day to drop weight before the show. Your pig will also lose some weight on the ride to the show. Let me know how it goes and if you have anymore questions

One thing I would not do is take away water or limit water. Limit the feed too and supplement his fullness with a oats or beet pulp. Something to make the pig feel full but does not have much nutritional value. Walk and exercise as much as possible. Good luck.
