Shane Brinning shows the Champion Crossbred Boar at the 2010 World Pork Expo.

 New to the NSR Winter Type Conference — crossbred boars and gilts will be allowed to show and sell at the annual event held in Perry, Ga. The date for the 2011 show is Jan. 22.

Other NSR shows, such as the Southwest Type Conference in Belton, Texas, the Summer Type Conference in Louisville, Ky., and the Fall Classic in Duncan, Okla., offer shows for crossbred boars, but not gilts.

Each exhibitor may enter a maximum of two crossbred boars and three crossbred gilts in the WTC. Entry fees are $100 for each boar and $30 for each gilt. [ … ]
