High School FFA Hunter Sells Pig Through Auction Aid
Greg Heath of Shafter High, a sophomore, faced a tough FFA project when his pig could not meet fair weights. Tom Shelton, a local auctioneer and Heath’s future girlfriend’s father, arranged a special auction at Palm Farms with fellow auctioneers to bid on the pig and cover the shortfall to fund a steer for Heath’s 4 H project.
