If any sale animal is discovered to be crypt-orchid at the time of slaughter then the Exhibitors floor price for the animal will be deducted from the sale check. ALL swine exhibitors must sign an agreement that if your hog does not make weight, whether you take it back home that day or choose to participate in the feeder classes, it will return only to the farm/home from which it came.
