Although it may not look or feel much like spring today, we are well into March and as always, the new season brings many exciting activities. The NCAA Tournament has yet again lived up to its “March Madness” status while people finally realize what the letters FGCU stand for on their busted brackets. But most importantly, spring means that the annual Midwest pig sale season is in full swing. As families begin shopping for junior gilt and barrow projects, there are several things to keep in mind.
The NSR Extravaganza will take
place at 6 p.m. on April 24th at the
Wayne County Fairgrounds.
NSR Weanling Pig Extravaganza
The National Swine Registry will be hosting the annual NSR Weanling Pig Extravaganza in Richmond, Ind. where breeders from across the country will be offering elite purebred and crossbred prospects for sale. Be sure to mark your calendars and join us at the Wayne County Fairgrounds [ … ]
If you are serious about showing and raising elite Hampshire hogs you had better study this set of pigs!!!
I have traveled a lot of miles this spring and looked at thousands of pigs. This is the deepest set I have seen!!
If you would like to visit about them give me a call.
