NSR Junior Incentive Program
In September of 2017 the Executive Committee of the National Swine Registry voted to approve a new Junior Incentive Program to NJSA members participating at the Southwest Type Conference in Belton, Texas and the NSR Fall Classic in Duncan, Oklahoma. This program is meant to encourage the junior membership to exhibit their outstanding showpigs at NSR Type Conferences where junior shows do not currently exist. This program awards $500 to breed champions and $250 to reserve breed champions owned and exhibited by a NJSA member.
