National Pig Day is coming up this Sunday, March 1, and it is a great opportunity to recognize the important role pigs and pork producers play in Oklahoma agriculture and communities across the state.

While the day is lighthearted, it carries an important reminder about the people behind pork and the daily commitment required to care for animals. From first-time 4-H exhibitors learning responsibility in the barn to multi-generation farm families and modern commercial operations, Oklahoma pork production reflects strong values, innovation, and stewardship.

National Pig Day also provides a timely moment to connect with consumers and share how pork is produced in Oklahoma. Producers are guided by science, focused on animal well-being, and committed to protecting natural resources while delivering safe, affordable protein for families. These values help build trust and reinforce confidence in pork as a wholesome choice at the grocery store and around the dinner table.

As National Pig Day approaches, Oklahoma Pork is proud to celebrate the pigs, people, and producers who make our industry strong. Happy National Pig Day from the Oklahoma Pork Council!
