Matt recalls trying to sleep on
feed bags in the small arena. Anita
remembers getting up at 2 in the
morning to wash down more than
SO swine in preparation for the
next day’s show.
Anita remembers being part of a
daily videotape and broadcast of a
show coordinated by Rep. Sheila
Miller, in which Anita and other
Berks County 4-H members spoke
about their experiences.

their work at Farm Show and also,
in the spring, during Ag In the
Classroom visits to the farm. Matt
recalls one Bth grade classmate’s
response to the question: what is a
steer? The classmate’s answer.
Malt says with a chuckle, was “a
female bovine” For another it was
even worse. The answer to a bull
a “male cow,” Matt noted.
Anita’s advice to would-be
Farm Show swine exhibitors?
“Stay calm and relaxed,” she
noted. “Don’t get frustrated.
Groom and prepare them use
good old Ivory soap. And clean out
the ears of the pigs.”
Connie Manbeck noted that a
judge’s decision in a tiebreaker
will sometimes be to examine the
ears of the swine.
For Matt, cleaning the ears and
hooves are the “hardest dungs to
do,” he said The hock gets dirty
and can present challenges for
exhibitors.
At the county level Anita and
Matt recall the “water battles” on
Friday night at Kutztown, after
most of the judging contests are
over. But for Farm Show, and
especially for 4-H membership,
Anita recalls that “winning isn’t
everything,” she said
“I’ve metalot of people through
4-H,” she said “Some of the best
times I’ve had are from 4-H.”
