2020 stc pIg show time
Posted by Jack Wall on June 25, 2020, 3:59 pm
As of this hour all systems are go for our 2020 STC. Staff members were in Des Moines yesterday getting ready for this event with shavings unloaded, pens set up, show rings being organized and the final steps of planning. We are extremely optimistic that this can and will happen, but it will be different than other CPS sponsored events in recent memory. We are mandated to be diligent in social distancing, less group discussions, less people involved with moving pigs from one destination to another, less seating space in the bleachers(mask and gloves will be available (but not mandated at this time) and your conversations around the ring will be reduced to 6 feet spacing. It is a privilege to conduct this event, and your cooperation will be expected at every turn. We have confidence you will abide by signage, verbal messages and will be vigilant of your surroundings and the health and welfare of all of those that choose to attend this event. A waiver will be mandated to sign as well as numerous other precautions that will be enforced. With this said- we have near record breaking entries in the open show and listed below are those numbers. Chester White- 59 exhibitors 42 boars 43 open gilts 2 bred gilts Judge Brandon Yantis Hereford 54 exhibitors 47 boars 51 open gilts 3 bred gilts Judge- Brice Conover Poland China 64 exhibitors 49 boars 55 open gilts 1 bred gilt Judge- Raymond Rice Spotted 105 exhibitors 98 boars 100 open gilts 5 bred gilts Judge Mark Hoge
