4-H Single Source Commercial Swine Class starts

Forty pigs found new homes on Saturday, April 2, when 13 Washington County 4-H members picked up their pigs for the official start date of the Single Source Commercial Swine Class for the 2016 County Fair. In this unique class all pigs come from the same producer, Dean Sieren of Sieren Pork. 4-H?ers have the opportunity to bring three back to the county fair for competition in interviews, rate of gain/scans and show ring performance.

Thank you to 4-H volunteer Dean Sieren and the swine superintendent, Ryan Gerot, who assisted with the weigh-in and pig pickup.
