The Washington County Fair Swine Committee has been preparing for this weekend’s spring weigh-in for production swine for 4-H and FFA members. Youth will have the opportunity to show both production gilts and barrows at the county fair. Exhibitors may nominate up to six barrows and six gilts at the weigh-in this Saturday. Pigs entered in the production division must be weighed and tagged by a committee at the weigh-in. No pigs over 45 pounds will be accepted. They need to be ear-notched and barrows castrated before the weight in. Those participating Saturday are reminded to clean and disinfect transport vehicles. The weigh-in will be Saturday from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. The 2019 Washington County Fair is about 110 days away.
