Mupu 4-H Members Get Their Pigs Ready for Fair
Published:  August 06, 2010

After many months of hard work, the 36 members of the Mupu 4-H Pig Project are doing their final prep to get their pigs ready to show in the Ventura County Fair.  It is time to wash and clip each animal, not so easy with a 200 pound ball of energy.  Some of the pigs love getting a bath, while others just tolerate the bathing before running over to roll in the mud.  Clipping the animals before they strut their stuff in front of the judge can be a lesson in patience and perseverance.   This is the final week to do some show ring training.  Teaching a pig to understand how to obey the show stick, to turn on cue, to stay the proper distance from the judge, seems impossible at first.  It takes months of practice to perfect the bond between animal and handler.  Then, to up the challenge, the member must also stay focused on the judge be able to follow any directions given.  Talk about multitasking!
