Dr. Lauren Christ ian brought back his expertise as professor of animal science at lowa State University to judge the junior market swine contest When he chose the crossbred champion shown by Keri Connel ly, Christian noted that the hog “correct in design” stood out from the rest When he selected Connel ly’s 248-pound light heavyweight class winner, a Hampshire/Duroc crossbred hog obtained by Roger Bentley of Washington Court house, Ohio, as supreme, Christian spoke about the movement of the industry to “muscle quality.” Swine, Purebred Becomes Reserve That same emphasis on muscle quality will provide meat from hogs with “marbling, color,” he said, and a product that will “not taste like shoe leather it will be flavorful. “There are more important things in the pig business that how lean a pig is,” Christian said. Keri, 13, is the daughter of Ron and Denise Connelly, State Col lege. Keri is in the Bth grade at Mt. Nittany Middle School. This is her first championship at the Farm Show, clinched with “Bentley,” named after the man from whom she obtained the hog. Keri said die hog is walked a half mile every day. It was “hard work and exercise” that garnered her a championship, he noted. She won reserve at the Centre County Grange Fair. Keri helps out on her family’s 1,000-acre dairy farm and raises market swine for showing. The reserve supreme was a Hampshire shown by Janine Wine bark. 13, daughter of Ken and Janet Winebark, Myerstown. Janine showed “Jessie,” selected from her family’s hod, which numbers a few sows. Janine is in the Bth grade and is home schooled.
