NOTES

*Individual hogs will only be weighed for one category of competition. It is the Team Captain’s responsibility to designate to the official scorer which category the hog will compete in before it is weighed. If the official scorer is not notified the first 3 hogs weighed will automatically be placed in the 3 Heaviest Hogs category.

* Heaviest Boar and Heaviest Sow for the Jackpots cannot be used as one of the heaviest three in the Team’s 3 Heaviest Hogs entry. Also, a hog must be designated by the team prior to being weighed as a Jackpot Hog.

** Most Hogs in a Stringer will count all hogs that are over 50lbs field dressed

Each Team will be responsible for producing proof of each of their harvests, by digital photo,

Polaroid, video, etc. The Committee will instruct Teams on an item of the day for each day
