Hello this is the second year my country will be having a pig show through 4-h and no one around here really knows how to show pigs very well and last year they told the kids just to follow them around the areana so they could look at them and that is what they said will proboly happen again this year this is my first year of showing pigs and i have spent alot of time training, bathing, brushing ect. even if i am just in a wieght class will this help me place? Also what are the regular weight classes X pound - x pounds
Thanks,

classes at my fair are usually 200 - 210 211-220 and so on. Also, give the judge better looks at your pig and keep it in front of the judge. This may help some, but a good judge will still pick the best hog.

I think that a showmans goal should be to win showmanship every show and to be a good sport.I get so sick and tired of people making up reasons why they dont win .u should just face the facts and try to work harder next time.u also cant expect to win if u dont work hard at it every day. everything i win is earned thru hard work and determination.ithink the parensts should also realize their showing time is up dont do ur kids work and dont buy the judge.all the conflicts today at shows wouldnt happen if parents didnt show for their kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GET OVER IT ITS THE KIDS TURN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i certainly think if ur pig will go where you want it to at any point in the ring you will have an advantage
