At the Logan County Fair
livestock shows, the only animals that are purposefully turned loose
to run as they may are the hogs.
In the 4-H swine classes the exhibitors bring their animals in
untethered. Using only a prod, the exhibitor works his
or her animal around the arena while the judge examines each one.
Sometimes, though, a spectator at these events may wonder: Is the
kid herding the hog or is the hog herding the kid!?
