Washington County 4-H and FFA members weighed-in production swine projects on April 15 for the 2023 Washington County Fair, marking the official start date of their project. Twenty-two 4-H members weighed in 137 gilts and barrows for the production classes and 27 additional barrows were weighed in for the single source commercial swine class. 4-H members with these market pigs must identify these animals in 4hOnline by May 15th. Any additional market pigs or breeding swine need to be entered into 4hOnline accounts by May 15th as well. Staff at the Extension Office can assist with this if needed. For more information on the 4-H swine project area, or how to get involved with 4-H as a member or volunteer, please contact the Washington County Extension Office at 319-653-4811.
