• In order to show one Hampshire Sired Crossbred Barrow, you MUST also show one purebred barrow (of any breed). This is the same requirement as the traditional crossbred barrow rule for all NJSA events.
• Barrows participating in the Hampshire Sired Crossbred division are not eligible for competition in multiple divisions (i.e.: purebred Hampshire barrow class or traditional crossbred barrow class)
• Exhibitors should enter Hampshire Sired Crossbred barrows in the traditional crossbred barrow section of World Pork Expo Jr. National online entry form. Hampshire Sired Crossbred barrows can then be designated during World Pork Expo Jr. National show.
• Exhibitors are asked to download the Hampshire Sired Barrow Information Sheet from the World Pork Expo Junior National section of nationalswine.com. This form must be printed, completed and presented during check-in at the show.
