Pfautz f s Heavyweight Hogs Manheim Championship
LOU ANN GOOD
Lancaster Farming Staff
MANHEIM (Lancaster Co.)
Three times in 19-year-old Lisa
Pfautz’s lifetime of showing
hogs, she has claimed the grand
championship market hog title.
This year, she knew that she had
a good hog for the final county
fair of the season Manheim
Community Farm Show.
“But you never know the com
petition or what will happen,”
Lisa said of the coveted grand
championship.
Competition was keen. With
eight heavyweight classes out of
120 hogs, Lisa’s 260-pound hog
was in the first class of heavy
weights. Right from the start, the
judge for the show, Ken Wine
bark, was impressed with the hog
that he described as having an
extremly long extension, nice bal
ance, and a meaty butt. When all
the class champions returned for
the final showdown, Winebark
pointed out the eye catching
qualities of each one, but the
heavyweight champion was the
one that had it altogether and
was problem free.
“We do our own breeding,”
Lisa said of the hogs her brothers
and parents Rick and Sue
Pfautz, Lititz, raise.
Taking reserve champion hon
ors was Derrick Bollinger’s
261-pound heavyweight.
It was the fourth grand cham
pion or reserve title for Derrick
at the Manheim competition.
