Reserve also went to the Wet
zels for the February gilt, a gilt
which Brock pointed out amazed
him when he chose it for February
class champion. To have a gilt that
was big and open with muscle and
“still be structurally correct,” he
noted, was amazing. The reserve
was KWF 19 MS Tonto Gonzal (S:
SC7 Austin 97 39-2, D: KWFI7
Ms Tonto Gonzal 8-10), a tre
mendous gilt. Brock noted, for its
combination of traits.
Hampshires
From her profile, the February
gilt was a pretty one, “big and tall
and beautiful,” said Brock. The
gilt, shown by Brandon Winebark
of Winebark's Hampshires, Myer
stown, “has the most potential to
make hogs better in the Hampshire
breed,” Brock said.
Brandon exhibited KLW9 Gol
den Girl 1-8 (S: JZPS Golden Icon
44-5, D: KLW6 Bobbi Franchise
2-1).
The reserve champion, shown
by Brandon’s sister, Janine, exhi
bited the most in terms of breed
characteristics. Janine exhibited

Brock was impressed with the
March gilt shown by Grant A.
Lazarus HI, Germansville, LAG 9
MS Data Unique (S: LAG 7 Data
Aris 10-8, D: LAG 7 Ms Milkmans
Uni 1-3). The gilt tied it all
together, noted Brock it’s “dur
able and feminine and broody and
puts it all together very nicely,” he
said.
Reserve wait to the “second
most progressive” gilt, the March
second place gilt shown by George
P. Billig, New Tripoli, BGP9 Kate
(S: SBI6 Maxwell 906 96-6, D:
BGPB Kate 9-7).

complete in muscle than others
during competition. Brock noted.

ooff, Kutztown, for CAB 9 Awe
some Oak (S: DDP6 Awesome

Spolteds

Grant Lazarus “easily puts the
most together,” Brock noted, in
terms of skeletal extension and
length of body. The grand champ
ion went to Leslie/Lazarus
Brothers, Getmansville, for the
January gilt, LLB 9 Hun & Loin
(S: ZSF6H&L 10-3, D: LLB 7 Jus

February gilt, LLB 9 Dex Stand,
also shown by Lcslic/Lazarus
Brothers.
Yorkshires
The February gilt, a “stout
brood sow," noted Brock, was
“adequate in all traits.” It beat out
the March gilt, one of the most
challenging classes, even though
the March gilt was a “real com
plete gilt.”
The grand champion was shown
by Rattlesnake Mt Farms, CBH9
Sue (S: CLLS Roc Challenge 6-10,
D: CBH7 Sue 22-6). The reserve
