In the swine sale, John Stauffer collected a hefty $7.50 a
pound for his champion hog purchased by Manheim Auto
Auction. Following close on his heels was Amy Becker
whose reserve champion hog was sold to Bombergers
Store for $7 a pound. The swine sale had 140 hogs cross
the auction block for an average price of $1.46 per pound.
Lamb prices were down a bit this year with only 20
lambs sold by 4-H’ers and FFA’ers at an average of $2.93
per pound. The 125-pound grand champion, shown by
Brandon Ziegler, went to Boss’s Steak House for $4 a
pound. Three buyers. Lull’s Construction, Jim’s Welding,
and Smucker’s Meat, pooled their resources to purchase
the reserve champion lamb from Travis Donough for
$3.35 a pound. Speedwell Construction paid $4.10 a
pound for Corby Ziegler’s champion lightweight
The reserve champion steer, owned by Casey High of
Lititz, went for $1.50 a pound to J.H. Brubaker and Sons
of Manheim. Average price for the 16 steers was $1.35 per
pound.
Earl Geib, president of the Manheim Farm Show board
of directors, attributed the increase of buyers to the extras
that kids do. These extras include letter writing and con
tacting potential buyers.
Deb Seibert, Manheim Central vocational ag teacher,
said that the sale animals have been raised by FFA and 4-H
members as learning experience projects. The support of
the 70 registered buyers makes it possible for members to
continue their projects.
As a token of their appreciation, FFA members offered
doughnuts and beverages to the buyers. Buyers who pur
chased an animal from an Manheim FFA member
received a special emblem cap as a token of appreciation.
