All Polands and Spots are required to be stress identified and only negative or carriers are allowed to be exhibited and sold. This can be from actual testing or by matings, but in all cases it must be known which status the animal is. Example: If a sire is denoted as a negative and the dam is not denoted of any stress status-the resulting progeny from this mating MUST be tested and clearly denoted on the pedigree at time of check in of said pig at Belton. Yes, Jack you are correct that the entry form clearly defines this requirement and I will take under advisement further clarification. We do spell this requirement out in the exhibitor letter we will send out the first week of February. Have a great weekend.jlw
