The Darby Creek Swine 4-H Club met for the second meeting of the 4-H season. While this meeting was supposed to be the Quality Assurance meeting, it was moved to the next meeting, because not enough people showed up to this meeting. We discussed old business, and the treasurer’s report stated that we had raised $335.52 for the club, $111.85 of which was raised from Button Days. Our advisors did a presentation on the selection of a market hog, what to look for, and appearance and behavior. We talked about the five basic nutrients for a pig, and what they do and their benefits for the pig. With that, we talked about care for the pen and the animal and went over our health and safety reports from those officers. To close the meeting off, we did activities related to the pig, which included ear notches, parts of the pig, bones of the pig, etc.
