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 craft program: Cinnamon Pig
Groups of eight or more must pre-register
Time: 11:00am to 3:00pm
Approximate time to complete project: 20 minutes
