Published 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Description
A 2 part series discussing a basic principle question - WHY? This began from a listener request, and kind of took off from there to another level. In this episode we explore the purpose of and for purpose-driven selection in the show pig industry, addressing questions about industry standards, genetic diversity, and the balance between function and appearance. Hosts Josh and Carrie Brockman discuss industry evolution, judging criteria, and the importance of purpose in breeding and showing pigs, and what the vibrant showpig industry has become and their thoughts on it.
