New members were taught how showmanship is mostly about working with your animal before the show. The freshmen learned how hard showmanship is and how much work goes into getting ready for the fair.
Before going down to the barn, the freshmen members learned the basics of showmanship. From techniques to brushes, they covered all parts of showing a pig. When learning the tools used in showmanship, they learned proper skin and hair care for swine. Doing this helps to instill a sense of responsibility and gives the new members an experience to get them active in showing and the fair.
