New Purebred Market Hog Division Set for 2024 Fairfield County Fair

Junior Fair Market Hog exhibitors may show purebred market animals, both barrows and gilts, in the market show and will have a minimum of one division.  Barrows and gilts declared for the purebred division will need to show a valid pedigree in the exhibitor’s name and meet the respective breed characteristics to show as a purebred, otherwise the animal will show in the respective crossbred division.  This new division will encourage exhibitors who are interested in raising and showing purebreds to have a special division at the Fairfield County Fair.  Please be aware eligible market  weight limits for the market hog show are 225 to 295 lbs.  For more details, contact Junior Fair Director, Doug Shell at 740-404-1505.
