ANDY ANDREWS
Lancaster Farming Staff
ALLENTOWN (Lehigh Co.)
Who says those in the show
ring sometimes don’t agree with
the judge? John Strawbridge
certainly does.
While John was readying the
homebred champion January
boar, a Yorkshire, he noted the
Todd Lee Bennecoff Jr. won supreme champion gilt with
his Duroc Wednesday at the Allentown Fair.
boar
might have been the
“longest” in terms of
body length he’s seen.
If “they get any
longer than that, you
start running into
problems,” said Roger
Bankert, Hanover,
judge of the Allentown
Fair swine show.
Banker!, at the two
day show Wednesday
and Thursday this
week, picked the boar
from Busy Acre Farm,
Whitehall.
John, 16, son of
Donna Strawbridge,
White Hall, also
picked up grand
champion showman in
the ring Thursday
morning.
A show veteran at
Allentown who has
won champion before,
John, a junior at Whi
tehall High School,
wasn’t even sure about
bringing the hog.
But with help from
grandfather Calvin
Lazarus, John said he
“knew what was
there” when the boar
started to mature.
John has shown at
Schnecksville, Kemp
ton, Kutztown, and is
showing at Sullivan
and in Syracuse, N.Y.
He also plans to show
at Bloomsburg Fair,
Keystone Interna
tional Livestock Expo
(KILE), and Farm
Show.
A Duroc February
gilt won supreme
champion gilt at the
Allentown Fair
Wednesday.
The champion was
shown by Todd Lee
Bennecoff Jr., 12, son
of Todd and Cheryl
Bennecoff, Kutztown.
Todd Sr. said the
how was purchased at
a national summer
type conference in Co
lumbus, Ohio, in July.
Todd Jr., in the seventh grade
at Northwestern, said he and his
dad picked the hog at the show.
Todd Jr. said the pig was
“long, and she had pretty much
muscle” when they purchased
her, at about 200 pounds. His
dad said they purchased other
animals to improve their herd at
the show.
