Perhaps no other show rivals the prestige and tradition of the National Barrow Show® in Austin, MN. Over the years Crane Pavilion has been the site of many outstanding shows and sales with influential breeding hogs that have left their mark for generations. One of the most unique aspects of the National Barrow Show® is Hog College Row.
In order to add to the value of the Hog College, for the first time each of the boars and gilts
representing their breeds will participate in the “Home Run Drive.” Following
the truckload show, all eight Hog College boars and gilts will be paraded in
one ring. At this time, a three-member panel will pick the boar and gilt they
feel best represents their breed. College teams will also have the opportunity
to rank the Hog College nominees to compete for a team prize.
Over the past several weeks, the NSR field staff has
traveled many miles to put together another outstanding lineup of Hog College
individuals. We are pleased to announce this year’s nominees that will be
offered at the 2012 National Barrow Show®. We would like to thank the breeders
behind these hogs for their support of the Hog College. Feel free to get in contact with our field
staff to discuss these individuals and be sure to take time to study the
following entries at Austin.
