Jack McCalla took the grand champion market hog honors Tuesday night in a large swine entry while Jacob Kern took reserve champion hog.
McCalla, 7, is one of the youngest competitors to win the individual championship.
He said the pig didn’t have a name, but was called 15.
But this is not the first big pig win for the youngster — in 2012, he won grand champion pair of market hogs.
“It was exciting,” McCalla said following the win Tuesday night, and when asked if he worked with his pigs a lot before fair he said, “every day at noon.”
Amanda Breuninger and Zeke Breuninger took the grand champion and reserve champion pairs, respectively.
Zeke Breuninger also won a large senior showmanship class, which was broken into two sections and the judge brought back the top six showmen for the final judging.
Intermediate showmanship went to Russell Timmerman.
Junior showmanship was won by Ryan Trinkle and Carter Kern won youth showmanship.
