It is our pleasure to introduce the 2017 National Swine Registry Hog College entries that will be featured at this year’s National Barrow Show® in Austin, Minnesota. Throughout the history of Hog College Row, some of the purebred swine industry’s most influential animals have been featured as elite representatives of their respective breeds. The following boars and gilts will be displayed on Hog College Row and will also compete in the annual Home Run Drive in Crane Pavilion on Monday evening, where a “chairman’s choice” and “college choice” will be crowned.
We are excited to showcase these featured individuals and would like to thank the breeders behind these animals for allowing us to select them for representation of their breeds. We would also like to thank all the breeders who nominated animals for consideration toward this year’s Hog College Row. For additional information on the following animals, feel free to contact the breeders of each animal or National Swine Registry Field Staff Representatives.
