5 Days of Thanks: Swine Exhibitors

After another successful North American International Livestock Exposition (NAILE), we want to thank all of our exhibitors who make NAILE great. The show wouldn’t be anything without you, your family and your animals.  On the second day of our five days of thanks, we want to highlight the swine exhibitors. Here are a few of the faces from this year’s expo.

Starting Young

Mitchell has shown hogs for 4 years starting at the young age of 2. A family hobby, the Mitchells have enjoyed showing hogs over the past several years.

Lexi and her brother and sister, Kendalyn and Kolton, love showing hogs with their family. Although this pig is black and white, Lexi prefers her red duroc pigs.

Pigs Get Baths, Too
