Hog Slopping and Weighing |
2012 Date: June 2 |
On Saturday, June 2nd, the Howell Farm hogs will wade out of their wallows, shuffle down a chute and step onto the scales. The weigh-in is open to the public, which is invited to join farmers as they wash and weigh hogs, slop hogs, and of course, call hogs. From 10:30am-3:30pm, kids can help farmers with pig chores: mixing feed and filling wallows. Hog weighing will take place at 11:30am, 1pm, 2pm and 3pm. Prizes will be offered to visitors who come closest to guessing the pigs' weights. Children's
