Pig competition returns to A&P show

From Afternoons, 1:25 pm on 12 November 2024

When he witnessed the very popular pig competition at the Canterbury A&P Show, Marlborough A&P Committee member Mark Taggart had an idea: bring the pig competition back to the Marlborough A&P show after a 15-year absence. 

The swines paraded at the Blenheim Showgrounds this past weekend - with six boars strutting their stuff. 

And after organising the whole thing, Mark and his pig even won an award for best presented pig and owner.

He talks to Jesse today.
