Please get with me if you are interested.

Every Pig will have to be handled and given a shot.
If anybody is willing and able and would like to help out please let me know. Shouldn't take more than 2 hours maximum for everything.
Do you know that Volusia County Fair has a breeding gilt class for female pigs ?
The breeding gilt class's have been falling off dramatically over the years.
I personally would like to see it back up to 30 or 40 gilts or more.
This is a great class for first-time participants, either Independents, 4-H or FFA, they get to show their female hog as well, The female goes back home with them or to a breeder after the fair.
This is a great way to get the newcomers and first-timers some show experience, care of the female hog as well as the more seasoned youth to step into the show ring.
Some breeders will lease their gilts to the youth to be cared for and then returned after the fair.
Something to think about, breeding is where it all starts.

Vintage DEW. Here is a litter that we had many years ago, 12 years to be exact, out of our beloved Duroc Ginger, that basically put us on the show pig map. Some youth back then, adults now, will remember when we took her to a jackpot show in North Florida, and a group of people tried to buy her for a few hundred bucks at 60 lb. She won her class, and then before we left the building their offer was up to $1,500 and we turned it down knowing that she had some breeding potential!..... And my gosh did she! Unfortunately, Ginger passed away about 5 years ago during our microtoxin issues that we had on the farm. One thing is for sure, there will always be a duroc at Macon Dew Show Pigs in memory of Ginger.
2 AM and still going at it in the farrowing barn. Honestly, I still do love it! I just don't know when I'm going to schedule some time for sleep.
Macon Dew Show Pig's Well, she's done :-) I am getting to old for this ! Dew - A simple little show pig place.

Macon Dew Show Pigs FREE Show pig winner is: We had a great day out here this morning selling show pigs, the rain moved in a little bit but we work through it, every kid bought a show pig for either 200.00 or 225.00 (54) Show Pigs put into the hand of these younger people. We had breakfast donated by Dunkin' Donuts, a lot of drinks on ice. I would like to thank all my help and a few visitors that pitched in to help from Suwannee County. Folks, it takes a lot of friends and good friends to put on an event like this, and I sure do appreciate every single one of you that supported me on sale day as well as all throughout the year. We scholarship five show pigs this sale day, this means a lot to me personally that I'm able to do this, it is a passion of mine to light that spark in these young people's lives and keep them interested in agriculture. Please keep me informed on your projects, don't forget by Wednesday evening it's going to be pretty cold out get them heat lamps ready and protect these pigs from the elements. Thank you Lloyd Flanagan, Sr. Macon Dew Show Pigs.
