Pig Penning Competition - Wednesday, August 8th
What is Pig Penning?
A pig penning competition is a lively event filled with energy, teamwork, and rural charm for all ages. Participants, aim to guide a pig into a designated pen within a set amount of time.
- A spacious area at the arena is sectioned off with pens at one end and an open space for maneuvering. Each team has its own pen to corral the pig into.
- Pigs used in these competitions are usually sprightly and quick, adding excitement and unpredictability to the challenge. They aren’t harmed in the process—it’s all about skillful herding.
- Teams must use strategy, coordination, and communication to guide the pig toward the pen. Some rely on movement patterns, while others attempt gentle steering techniques.
- Time Crunch: The competition is timed, and teams need to act fast! Bonus points or prizes may be awarded for doing it in record time.
