Claiborne County’s 4-H members got the opportunity to present hogs and exhibit the skills they had attained during the Claiborne County 4-H 2017 Hog Show, held at the University of Tennessee Brehm Animal Science Building. Bret Asbury, John Brogan, Isaac Heck, Kenna Lambert, Cody Mabes, Eli Mundy, Cade Rogers and Haley Simmons showed a total of 18 hogs at the County Show.
This year’s 4-H Hog Show was divided into three Showmanship classes, six Market-Hog classes, and three Purebred classes. Bret Asbury won Senior High Showmanship (ninth thru 12th grades) followed by Cade Rogers in second place, Kenna Lambert in third, and Cody Mabes in fourth. Haley Simmons won Senior High Showmanship for Campbell County. Eli Mundy won Junior High Showmanship (seventh and eighth grades) followed by John Brogan in second and Isaac Heck in third. Eli also won Overall Showman for Claiborne County. In Showmanship the 4-H member is judged on how he or she exhibits their project animal and how well they can answer questions asked by the judge about their animal.

Cade Rogers won first place in Class 2 followed by Bret Asbury in second, Isaac Heck in third, John Brogan in fourth, and Cody Mabes in fifth.

The Claiborne County Extension Staff would like to say “Thank You” to all of our 4-H members, their families, and all volunteers that have helped our 4-H members for making our county hog show a success. These 4-H members also competed in the Regional Hog Show.
