Seriously, what would a pork expo be without racing pigs? While World Pork Expo is a serious event for producers who want to find out the latest information about their industry, it’s also a family event with fun stuff like pig races.

Hendrick’s Racing Pigs provides the entertainment in the cattle barn on the Iowa State Fairgrounds. The races are short – only about a minute – but the fun part is the Pig Lady’s commentary as she introduces the little critters who are named with various themes. Here is a video of the “Redneck Racers” – which included Jeff Hogsworthy, Bill Spamball, Ham Salad, and Larry the Bacon Guy.
