This show is one of the largest youth swine shows in Florida. The Swine Show, like the Steer Show, involves feeding out the project animal for the purpose of marketing that animal for sale.
From November through February, exhibitors work with their animals, keeping detailed records. Marketing is another important part of the swine project. Each exhibitor must make at least five business contacts in order to promote the sale of their hogs. We welcome you to come out and see if you can pick the Grand Champion.
Then come back the following night for the fun of the sale. As with all the animal projects for the Southeastern Youth Fair, a completed record book must be turned in for the exhibitor to compete with his or her animal.
The 2008 Swine Show had 313 animals with an average weight of 238 lbs. The average price per pound was $3.10. This average does not include the Hillcrest 4-H Club which was purchased by Marion County Road Builders Association. Total hog sales were $230,044.15.
