Judges Allen Keppey and Andy McVay evaluated live hogs at Hawk Eye Downs aiming for leaner carcasses amid consumer demand. Swine Expo committee member La Mar Grafft said stricter judging this year seeks to shift perceptions of the swine industry, with winners named in open derby and truckload classes and a youth livestock contest upcoming.

Mystery hog disease shocks Iowa farming region
Iowa researchers face a puzzling hog disease with death losses up to 60 percent lasting four months. The outbreak, traced from Illinois and Indiana, hit Louisa and Storm Lake areas hardest, affecting 212 farms and killing over 85 000 hogs within a 100 mile radius of four IBP plants. The Greenes pushed surveys and lobbying for relief as IPPC and NPPC work toward a cure.
