Jay Bomgardner was this year’s light
heavyweight champion of the junior market hog
show at Farm Show.
Gruber has market hog champ
(Continued from Page 1)
taken the Farm Show top
titles says quite a bit for the
youngster’s show record.
The elder Gruber manages
A & B’s farms where ap
proximately 150 sows are
kept, and commercial gilts
are sold for breeding pur
poses.
A second win on Thursday
for Gruber came when one of
his animals was also named
reserve champion
heavyweight. This animal
was second in rank to the
heavyweight which became
reserve gr champion,
overall.
Greg Strict vho showed
the reserve c;. mp, overall,
was firt named
heavyweight division
champion with his 239 pound
Duroc crossbred gilt At nine
years old this is Greg’s first
year at showing. He is a
member of the Berks County
4-H Swine Club, and he is the
son of Mr. and Mrs. Gene
Strieker.
Taking the championship
of the light heavyweight
division was Jay Bomgard
ner, Annville, with a
homebred 226 pound
Hampshire. Three days
previous to the Thursday
market bog competition,
Jay’s brother Charles had
earned top honors in
Hampshire breeding swine
competition. The two
brothers are in partnership,
along with a third brother, in
Blue Mountain View Farms.
Jay, who is president of
the Lebanon County 4-H
Livestock Club, has never
even had a first placing in
the market swine com
petition, prior to this
although he also had a
champion bred gilt last year.
Happy with his ac
complishment, the youth
admitted that he had aimed
for the market hog title this
year, and while he didn’t
gamer the overall cham
pionship, he was pleased to
go as far as he did.
Another area title winner
was Tony Eberly, Denver
R 2, from Cloister FFA of
Ephrata High School, who
showed the middleweight
reserve champion.
