Youth with a passion for pigs put their knowledge to the test during the eighth-annual Swine Spectacular, presented by the Iowa Pork Producers Association (IPPA).
The educational event was held in conjunction with the Iowa State University Block & Bridle Club and Alpha Gamma Rho Spring Spectacular, a hog show sanctioned by the Iowa Swine Jackpot Series.
“Swine Spectacular is designed for young people to show off what they know about the pork industry, but it also incorporates production and industry perspectives,” said Hannah Spurr, IPPA’s consumer outreach director. “No matter if they live on a pig farm or not, we hope participants always walk away learning something new.”
