4 H Club Portrays Pigs and Projects for Fair Time
Wickersham notes a 4 H project can be completed before the fair if pigs are over six months at show time. The boy would earn 4-H credit but not compete for prizes. Financial reward lies in heavier pigs and better profits, with learning about good management for future use. The best project combines timing, profit, and management without sacrificing quality to win ribbons.
