43rd EASTERN INDIANA SWINE SHOW
Thursday, July 22, 2010 - 4:30 P.M.
Delaware County Fairgrounds, Muncie, IN.
The On-Foot Show will start at 4:30 P.M. with the order of show being 4-H Senior Showmanship, 4-H Jr.
Showmanship, 4-H Beginning Showmanship, and Open Class. Carcass data will be collected by electronic
scanning of live hogs, tabulated, and distributed at the end of the show.
Gilts and barrows will show in same class by weight. Animals may be taken home after the show OR sent on to
market at market price. (This is possible since the "carcass" data is electronically determined at weighing time,
not at a processing plant.) Owners must give a final unchangeable decision on home or market at scales.
No advance entries or payments are needed. All paper work will be handled prior to the scales at weighing time.
Carcass placing will be determined by electronic scanning with $7.00 scanning fee collected at weighing for each
hog. All hogs remain the responsibility of the exhibitor if condemned by the packer.
