Thanks for both answer... Could you tell me the best type of pig to get? With out spending a lot. My son is only 8 and he is going to have to handle a lot of the open shows. I don't know if he will make into the bigger shows or not. He does not turn 9 until middle Jan. 09

  1. Wrong section. I am assuming you are doing this for 4H.  I did steers it was one of my fondest memories. First off  you should get some assistance from your project leader or county extension agent.  Here are some sites to get an idea of what to look for. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=c...  good luck.


  2. Wrong section, but Hampshires are very intelligent and also good looking, Durocs are striking in appearance (red hair) and generally don't tend to get huge like some other breeds, and Chester Whites are also striking in appearance but they do tend to get large after a while. I raised and showed pigs when I was a girl, and I have lots of fond memories of the experience. I hope you and your son have fun!
