Missouri junior swine exhibitors traveled to jackpot shows throughout the summer competing for points in the MPA Youth Show Pig Circuit. Points for the circuit could be earned from 13 of 21 shows held across Missouri between the months of April and June. An awards presentation was conducted to conclude the program Wednesday, August 10 at the Pork Place on the Missouri State Fairgrounds in Sedalia.
Tate Welch of Sheridan won two awards in the circuit this year. He won 1st place in Dark Crossbred Gilt and 1st Overall Gilt.
The MPA Youth Show Pig Circuit is designed to provide junior swine exhibitors the opportunity to develop their citizenship, leadership, and sportsmanship skills and to reward Missouri youth for their participation and hard work put toward exhibiting swine projects statewide.
