HARRISBURG - Only 13
breeders shared in the 28 top
champion and reserve champion
honors in the seven breeding swine
shows at the Keystone In
ternational Livestock Exposition
on Tuesday.
Most of the Pennsylvania
breeders were repeat winners
from previous years and many
were multiple winners in several
categories.
Just about the only new faces
and thus new hogs in the com
petition were those that traveled
from the Midwest to participate in
the Eastern Berkshire Fall Classic
Sale.
Sometimes the only new things
you see or hear at these shows is
the different type criteria that
various judges use in making their
selections.
On Tuesday, the big thing in
swine at KILE was their “flat
tops.” Judge Gale Bressner,
Chester White breeder from
Chenoa, 111., sure liked their
levelness on top. Over and over he
kept citing that as he made his
selections.
So here are the best "flat top
pigs” as selected by him on
Tuesday;

Washington, Pa. just about swept
the top Durocs, capturing the

clusion of the barrow on-foot shows
at KILE this week, a junior
exhibitor captured the grand
champion award. Gretchen
Christman, Chambersburg,
showing her brother Gregg’s
barrow, received the top honors.
This was the first swine
championship for the Christman
family. While brother Gregg was
busy at the sheep and steer shows,
Gretchen took the first place spot
in the heavyweight class of the
junior barrow show, then earned
the championship of the junior
competition, and finally captured
the overall grand championship of
the barrow shows.
The reserve grand champion
barrow on-foot was shown by long
time KILE exhibitor, John
Strawbndge, of Strawbndge and
McCleary, Stewartstown. The
reserve grand champion was the
winner of the Hampshire breed
show and champion in the open
competition.
Yeazel Durocs, Eaton, Ohio,
earned the open reserve cham
pionship with their winner in the
Duroc competition. Exhibiting the
reserve champion in the junior

Berkshire, Chester White, Hamp
shire, Poland China, Spotted,
