They were a lot cuter six months ago when they went home with our 4-H members however now these hogs that have tripled in size are becoming contenders for the ring. In case you missed the squeal Tuesday night is traditionally the 4-H pig show at the Robeson County Fair and we unveiled our new adult hog show too.
This year three 4-H members took on the challenge of raising and showing a pig. Kashawn Cooper with Voices in Praise, Triton and Sebastian Bullard of Footprints 4-H Club all took center stage in the ring as they showed off their hard work. Kashawn Cooper placed first in the Junior Showmanship division while Triton Bullard placed first in the Senior division and his brother Sebastian placed second. In the weight division the hogs ranged from 108-190 pounds. Triton Bullard placed first while his brother Sebastian placed second and Kashawn rounded out the weight division in third.
This year instead of having two youth divisions we had one 4-H show and an adult hog show. This year Anthony Locklear brought 16 pigs and seven other adults to show them. As the adults ran after their pigs, they found keeping their eyes on the judge and the pigs was not as easy as the youth make it look. After several rounds through the ring the judge made his decision in the lightweight division. Anthony Locklear took home the blue ribbon, Ryan Locklear followed with second place and Ruby Oxendine took Third. The following contestants rounded out the lightweight division:
Dwan Locklear-6
Lyvans Lowry-4
Sherry Locklear-5
Candy Lowry-8
Tonya Mitchell-7

In the Heavy Weight Division our pigs ranged in weight from226-267 pounds. The adults did their best to motivate the hogs through the ring and around the judge to see which hog might place first. Once again Anthony Locklear took home the first place ribbon while Lyvans Lowry took home the red and Candy Lowry took home the white ribbon. The following contestants rounded out the heavy weight division:
Ruby Oxendine-5
Sherry Locklear-8
Dwan Locklear-6
Ryan Locklear-7
Tonya Mitchell-4
After getting all the hogs out of the ring we moved on to Grand and reserve Champion. Anthony Locklears two first place pigs placed one in each category awarding him the big trophy's and prize money.
