HARRINGTON, Del. -
This year’s Delaware 4-H
Feeder Pig Sale was bigger
and better than ever, with
nearly 50 contestants and
half again as many hogs
competing. The event took
place last'Saturday, at the
state fairgrounds in
Harrington.
The 1980 champion feeder
pig was raised by Lin
Martin, 14, of Milton, who
also produced last year’s
reserve champion. His 215-
pound crossbred entry
placed first in the mid
dleweight class and was
bought by Penn Packing
Company of Philadelphia for
$1.45 a pound.
This year’s reserve
champion, a 220-pound
heavyweight hog, was raised
by Sean Kelly, 10, of
Wilmington. First place in
showmanship was Chris
Majchrzak, 14, of Seaford.
Her 186-pound entry scored
highest in the lightweight
class.
Other winners m the an
nual competition were.
Justin Reynolds, 16, of
Smyrna (second place,
lightweight class), Chris
Majchrzak (second place,
middleweight class—her
second entry); and Scott
Magargal, 17, of Lan
denberg, Pa. (second place,
heavyweight class).
The feeder pig sale follows
the Delaware State Fair
each summer and marks the
conclusion of a popular 4-H
learning project which in
volves young people from
clubs all over the state.
The event is sponsored
jointly by 4-H and the
Delaware Pork Producers
Association, with generous
support from fair officials.

TALL, STYLISH and DAIRY. That describes MILESTONE Daughters. We
believe MILESTONE will be a premier sire for many years to come. We think
this is proven by the way MILESTONE Daughters have sold at the various
sales around the country. Better yet we like the way Milestone Daughters
are holding their own, and many times winning their classes at local, county
and state shows. There is just something about a "milestone" that takes
a dairyman’s eye.
If you want to breed some Show winners, call your American Breeders
Service Representative and ask for 29H2785 MILESTONE.
