The following students will exhibit pigs in the show: Lane Bridges, Brantley Cargle, Jonas Hardy, Callen Kerce, Pierce Kincer, Benson Turner, Tate Whitlock, and Tucker Whitlock.

Students received their pigs in July and have raised them at home. They participated in a preview show during the Chattooga County Ag Fair in August.

Each student will auction at least one of their pigs they have raised. The proceeds from the auction will go to the student. The pigs will be transported to the processors by the young farmers and buyers will also pay for processing and pick up their meat when it is ready.

The Summerville Veterinary Clinic donated services for the project.

According to Chattooga County Young Farmer Advisor, Lauren Jarrett, “The pig project is an excellent opportunity for students to raise an animal and show on a local level. The support from sponsors and buyers shows the support our community has for youth involved in FFA and 4-H activities”
