QUARRYVILLE (Lancaster
Co.) Two cousins Nick and
Ryan Krcidcr were awarded

exhibited his supreme champion
260-pound heavyweight Hamp
shire crossbred gilt, besting the
reserve shown by his cousin, Ryan
Kreider. Ryan, 13, son of Lewis
and Debbie Kreider, Quarryvillc,
showed his 256-pound
Hampshirc/Spottcd cross gilt to

Nick, sophomore at Solanco
High School, said, “I didn’t think 1
would get the champion with this
hog.” This was his first Solanco
Fair champion. Nick said he
obtained the hog from Parlctt’s
Auction in May.

DEALER
grade at Swift Middle School, said,
“I was lucky, I guess," to be
awarded supreme champion. He
obtained the hog from Carroll
Herr, Holtwood.
It was merely a coincidence that
cousins were awarded the champ
ionship, since they obtained the
hogs from separate sales. Both
hogs were raised on separate farms
—Ryan’s a dairy and Nick’s a hog
farm.
David Hartman, extension agent
from Columbia County, was more
impressed with the supreme mark
et hog the second time he saw her,
he said. Hartman, Danville, said he
really appreciated the hog’s
“thickness from front to rear.”
In all, there were a total of 47
exhibitors and 78 hogs. Following
is a list of show placings.
