Boy Remembers 4-H Club Start and Market Pig Triumphs
In 1958 I joined 4 H under adviser Paul Thrush and chose hogs as my project. I raised Hampshire pigs, won Grand Champion Market Pig at the fair, and later earned Champion Sow and Litter in 1959 and a second place for Sow and Litter in 1960. The champion pig sold for over fifty dollars at the Junior Livestock Sale, marking a rewarding early 4 H experience.
