LAMPETER (Lancaster Co.)
—Hog selection, feeding, walking
those factors contributed in a
big way toward granting Kurt Mar
tin the grand champion FFA mark
et swine trophy on Wednesday
afternoon at the West Lampeter
Community Fair.
Kurt, IS, son of Bob and Mari
lyn Martin, Strasburg, walked his
hog, a 254-pound Hampshire/
Yorkshire cross, to heavyweight
champion and to supreme champ
ion. The Blue Butt gilt was
obtained from the Frank Feeser
herd in Tannytown, Md.
Kurt said feeding the hog a 16
percent protein and a lot of walk
ing contributed to gamering the
championship.
Kurt competed against strong
competition his brother Keith,
18, showed the medium and light
heavyweight champions. Kurt is a
sophomore at Lancaster Menno
nite High School and Hans Herr
FFA member.
Judge Jim Pariett, Du roc and
Chester White swine breeder from
Airville, said the champion hog
looked “really sound, really lean.”
Pariett chose the hog shown by
4-H member Crystal Charles, 14,
daughter of Cliff and Nancy Char
les, Millersville, as reserve. Pariett
picked the 246-pound York
crossbred shown by Crystal.
