The stands of Crane Pavilion were full for the Hog College Home Run Drive. All Hog College boars and gilts were paraded together in one ring to vie for honors and showcase some of the most elite swine genetics.
A three-member panel chose the individuals they felt best represented its breed and the industry for the “Chairman’s Choice” award. Collegiate judging teams also chose a “College Choice.”
