Each participant should bring at least one pig, but may bring two. In order to keep the groups small, the number of applications is limited to the first 75 on a "first come, first served" basis.
Attendees must be in compliance with the 2009 New Mexico Livestock Board Guidelines for Livestock Exhibitors.
The subjects covered will be:
- Selection
