8. Within two hours after Fair weigh-in, exhibitors must notify superintendent with their animal nominations, providing tag number(s) and

9. Because of consumer demand for a lean, uniform product, as well as the need for producers to raise fast-growing pigs, carcass exhibits

will be evaluated in two ways. The first evaluation will place the pig using the National Pork Producers Council formula for pounds of lean

gain per day on test. This is Production Class. Secondly, pigs will be evaluated using a carcass formula measuring the percent lean in the

carcass with the highest percent lean winning. This is the Carcass Class. Each exhibit will be nominated as Production or Carcass class at

rate live carcass class following the market pig show, and then are judged at the pre-designated locker for hanging carcass placing.

10. All pigs must weigh a minimum of 225 pounds by the Fair weigh-in. Each exhibitor will be allowed one lightweight exception. This pig

must weigh no less than 200 pounds at Fair weigh-in. If a lightweight exception pig is a market pig, it can be sold at the Fair Sale for kill at

a local locker or go home. It cannot go to a packer. If the lightweight exception pig is a breeding gilt in the gilt class, it may go home with

the exhibitor.

11. Exhibitors must notify the superintendent within two hours after Fair Weigh-In which animals are to be sold at the Fair Sale and which

animals will return home after the Fair. State laws must be followed for all pigs returning home.

15. There shall be no coloring agents, powder or oil used on hogs. Hogs in violation will not be allowed to show. The use of any of these

products is strictly prohibited. Due to packer demands and concerns, it is strongly recommended that pigs are not clipped. Hair should not
