Uncle Pig-Sty and the whole Hogerson clan were happy, happy, happy at World Pork Expo as Automated Production Systems presented Hog Swine-asty for this year’s theme.

You gotta admit that is clever and that’s a fact, Jack.

Every year these folks have a different theme for their tender whole roast hog and it’s always a highlight for me. Despite being exhausted after a full day of press conferences yesterday, I stuck around for another 90 minutes just to see what AP had planned for this year and I was not disappointed. They really go “whole hog” for these themes, with the costumes and music and even fun audience participation. This year it was a pig calling contest to tie-in with the Duck Dynasty reality clan’s duck call business.
