The show day comes after a long build up. Months of interacting with the pigs and training them to walk have to be undertaken before they are ready for the ring.
On show day they are washed and oiled before being led through to the ring with the other pigs
The pigs are led with a stick and and big board which allow the pig to be gently guided around the ring. A female (Gilt or Sow) is led by just one person however a boar (Male) must be led by two people as they are a little more excitable.
The whole process is obviously very tiring for the pigs!!!
