How do you get a white show hog to become very white? at least untill fair. i cant possibly keep mine out of the sun completely because that is how she gets excercised. so is there any poducts or simple things to do or use to keep her white and get her whiter?
Any information will be greatly appreciated. thanks!

Try Sullivan's Bright Lights Whitening Shampoo. We have used it in the past with great success. We keep our pigs mainly on dirt (actually red clay) and it works fantastic. We will definitely be using it again this year. 8)

tehy DO make a pig safe spray on sunblock. I have it for my Yorkshire cross, who loves to "tan" but burns lol. year before last i had to pen her up outta the sun, and she was miserable. last year i got the spray, and it worked great. ill get the name of it when im at the barn tonight

try using a cheep hand loation and cover the entire animal. rub it in like you were putting it on yourself it will condition the skin and give it a cleaner whiter look plus it makes washing them easier

some friends of ours use ez-all in the applicator that you can buy with it and soap the pig up and leave it on it seems to work well

Go-Jo works really well. It's designed to get out grease stains, etc. It really gets in and makes sure that there is no dirt or anything left

magic eariser and grandma's blueing (if you can find it), it turns the pig blue but with a little sun, you need sunglass
