Pigs are returning to Usk Show!

The Agricultural Section is delighted that Pig Classes are returning for the 2010 Usk Show for the first time for many years. Does anyone have any photographs of pigs being at  the Show? 

For this year we will run two classes - a Breeding Sow Class and one for Finished Pigs. We very much hope there will be support for the classes. We know the public adore Pigs and they will be a very welcome addition to the section. Please tell any 'pig people' about the classes.  We may need to adjust the classes in future years but to start with we need to guauge the interest which, I am sure, will be great.

If anyone has any suggestions or has any suitable penning we could borrow please get in touch.

We are also well on target to get the section schedule printed on time with most of the judges confirmed.

With the bitterly cold winter still with us the show seems a long way away but it will be with us very soon.

As always we welcome any ideas and extra hands for show day are much appreciated so if you, or your friends, would be keen on helping for a few hours on September 11th, please get in touch.

Please take a look at the full 2009 Agricultural Schedule.
