Just read this on the TDHA forum- " Can I catch a hog on friday, put it in my holding pen then feild dress it on sunday to keep it from spoiling?"- The question was answered yes.
So we are allowed to catch and keep hogs alive till sunday, but we have to "catch" them again on sunday in the pen and kill with a knife??
Sorry but I do not understand the question you are asking?
IF it helps... hogs can not be caught out side the specified time frame, held, and entered in the contest. Meaning... YES YOU CAN catch a hog on Friday night (because that is in the specified time frame), keep it in a pen, and kill it Sunday morning to bring to the contest fresh. YOU CAN NOT catch one Thursday night (not in the specified time frame), keep it in a pen, and kill it Sunday morning to bring to the contest.
Also on Barr hogs, yes.
