PIGS

The pig competition is your chance to get up close to a range of both traditional and new breeds of pig. Our small but friendly pig competition is open to all breeds. Classes are just divided into coloured pigs and white pigs, and not by breed. East Anglia has the largest number of pigs of any area in the UK, and provides employment for large numbers of people. The light soils and low rainfall of the Breckland area are ideal for keeping pigs outside. A popular class during the judging is the Young Handler’s Class, which is an opportunity for young people to show their skills in handling and showing a pig in the judging ring. Judging starts at 10am, but if you miss that the pigs are there all day in their pens, and some will be paraded during the Livestock Grand Parade in the Main Arena around 4pm.
