Swine Showmanship
  • CARDINAL SINS
  • EQUIPMENT
  • ENTRY
  • SPEED
  • CONTROL
  • JUDGING STYLES
  • PENNING
  • SITUATIONS

NEXT
6
Cardinal Sins
  • Getting between the judge and the hog
  • None or little eye contact with the judge
  • Spending time on the fence or in the corner
  • Pig not moving
  • Over use of the driving utensil
  • Over showing
  • Letting your hand ride on the back of the hog

NEXT
7
Judging Styles
  • Standing- Judges that stand must have the hog
    driven 12-15 feet in front of them, allowing the
    pigs strengths to be revealed. Pigs that are
    too close or too far away may not get enough good
    looks.
  • Walking- Judges that walk are difficult to show
    to. You must drive to the open areas of the show
    ring setting yourself apart. Be careful of
    running in groups, show control by going against
    the grain.

NEXT
8
Equipment
  • Driving utensil- something long enough to reach
    the head when driving just behind the shoulder.
  • Brush- that will hang or be placed in a pocket.

NEXT
9
NO HANDS
Some judges allow you to use your hands. I
prefer it be limited to penning and stopping the
pig. The argument is that we use our hands when
driving hogs on the farm, but actually we use a
hurdle on the farm.
NEXT
10
Show ring Entry
  • Find the judge
  • Establish confident eye contact
  • Upon entering the show ring present the animals
    strongest view as soon as possible.
  • Maintain eye contact as you leave the entry area.
  • Be courteous to other exhibitors by driving away
    from the entry gate until all show persons have
    arrived

NEXT
11
Speed
  • Speed is one of the most critical elements in
    winning showmanship
  • A slow, steady one step at a time pace is the
    preferred speed.
  • Too slow The head goes down to rut, the top
    comes up and the hog presentation suffers.
  • Too fast The hog begins to hop, jump, and judge
    receives a less than flattering view.

NEXT
12
Turning
  • Turning the pig in a big circle, maintaining as
    level and attractive appearance as possible, is
    preferred.
  • Quick turns should be done when the judge is not
    looking.
  • Excessive turning may allow for additional looks
    just do not have the pig wadded up when the judge
    is looking.

NEXT
13
Control
  • The ability to show control and make the pig go
    as planned is essential.
  • The driving instrument should only be used to
    make the pig go or change directions.
  • The driving instrument should only be used on the
    top of the back, shoulder, neck, or under the
    chin. It should never be used on the back half
    of the hog.

NEXT
14
Penning
  • Go directly to the designated pen, maintaining
    eye contact with the judge.
  • Open gate, drive pig in if problems with pig
    entering pen using hands is allowed.
  • Pig does not get penned on first try, then shut
    and latch gate, retrieve pig back to pen reopen
    and pen.
  • Close gate, pig should be in front of pen
  • Check pig for cleanliness.

NEXT
15
Re-entry from the pen
  • Eye Contact
  • Have pig ready with head at the gate when judge
    gives the signal.
  • Leaving pen send pig out in the direction of
    presenting strengths.
  • Shut and latch gate.
  • No hurry, maintain correct speed.

NEXT
16
Situations-Judge traps you with your pig on the
fence.
  • Stay on the fence, turn side ways maintaining eye
    contact, and continue to try to get the pig off
    the fence.
  • As soon as the judge turns away, go quickly to
    the front and get the pig off the fence.
  • Youre losing points by being on the fence,
    because in the judges views the fence is doing
    part of the driving.
  • Do not panic and cross over

NEXT
17
Pig wont move?
  • Check to make sure he/she is not going to the
    restroom.
  • Wait till the judge is not looking and firmly get
    after the pig. Do not lose control and become
    brutal
  • Continue to be more aggressive as a show person
    without over showing.

NEXT
18
Pig is running?
  • Stay calm walk slowly over to the pig while
    maintaining eye contact with the judge.
  • Fast pigs occasionally can be slowed down by
    driving from the front.
  • Fast pigs make it difficult to succeed in
    showmanship and realizing that many good showman
    have lost because the pig felt too good, is
    excellent knowledge.
  • Dont panic and chase, stay calm and work for the
    correct speed.

NEXT
19
Judge says stop your pig?
  • Move to the front of the pig using hands as a
    blind to maintain the stop.
  • Maintain eye contact.
  • Do not get between the judge and the hog unless
    the judge moves then, continue the stop until
    released to move.
  • Experienced showman might stop the pig with its
    most favorable view presented to the judge.

NEXT
20
Judge asks you to switch pigs.
  • Drive pigs together.
  • Trade pigs on the side away from the judge.
  • Exchange driving instruments and brushes
  • Check new pig for cleanliness and valuable
    physical assets as you drive.
  • Switch back in the same manner

NEXT
21
Judge touches or throws shavings on your pig.
  • Acknowledge immediately by pulling brush from the
    pocket.
  • Wait until the judge looks away then brush.
  • Try and maintain speed, control, and eye contact.
  • Then return brush to the pocket.

NEXT
22
Confidence
  • Its in your eyes
  • Its in your mannerisms
  • Its in your voice when you answer questions
  • Confidence is the act of removing doubt. You
    believe youre a good showman, you expect to do
    well, you look and appear confident. Judges
    will start to read this confident look and start
    to believe as well.
