Swine judging is the process of selectively ordering swine or domestic pigs in order to determine the superior specimen. It is commonly done at agricultural shows including State Fairs in the United States.
For market hogs, traits are ranked in order of their importance: Degree of muscling, Growth, Capacity or volume, Degree of leanness, Structure and soundness.[1] For maternal line breeding gilts, the traits by order of importance are: Structure and soundness, Growth, Underline quality, Capacity or volume, Degree of muscling, Degree of leanness.[2]
