So I’m probably getting a Hereford pig to show…!
Spot pig for showing?

I LOVE Hereford Hogs! I’ve raised them for feeder pigs. They are beautiful and the meat beats anything that you will ever buy in a grocery store.

That’s awesome!! The barrow I’m looking at kinda seems to sit on his Pasterns though. Let me post a picture! He’s my favorite, they have another who looks like he’s not on his pasterns, but what do you think?

Hard to tell from a picture. Use your best judgment.

Ok thank you. Unfortunately I won’t see him in person until I pick him up. We are meeting.

Ask them which pig has the best legs. Doesn’t hurt to ask. While you are asking, ask if they will bring both for you to pick from.

Well, I can’t have them bring both because they are going to cut the one I pick.

Spin around 5 times, close your eyes and take 2 steps backward. Count to 10. Hop up and down1 time. Open your eyes and pick one.
That’ll work about as good as anything. In the picture above, the pig appears to be walking. Hard to get a perfect conformation picture.
