Bennington selects North as the Grand Champion Market Hog

Kent Bennington had his work cut out for him as he sorted the Market Hog classes at the 2016 American Royal. He said exhibitors brought a deep set of market hogs. For him, sorting through the Yorkshires was the most challenging, and he described it as splitting hairs.

Once Bennington sorted through his breed winners and brought back the crossbred winner from Saturday night, he said the champion drive was filled with exceptional hogs.

Bennington selected Khyleigh North’s crossbred to take home the Champion Overall Market Hog title and Wyatt Martin grabbed the Reserve Champion Overall Market Hog banner with his Hampshire barrow.

Congratulations to all exhibitors!
