2021 OH-PIGS BANQUET

Despite a year of curveballs and uncertainty in 2020, the OH-PIGS Circuit continued to find a way for the show to go on. It wasn’t easy, but the hard work and determination of everyone involved made it possible. The same can be said about the circuit in 2021. The promising return to normalcy allowed for the circuit to look like past years throughout each of the shows and for all of our exhibitors, giving those involved with the 2021 OH-PIGS Circuit an experience unlike any other.

Thanks to the constant effort and dedication from the Ohio Pork Council, OH-PIGS Committee, OH-PIGS manager Kelly Morgan, and our amazing OH-PIGS sponsors, the 2021 circuit consisted of 24 different shows that spanned over a two-month stretch, from April 17 to June 20.

Throughout the spring into summer season, a record-setting group of 236 exhibitors competed for points in the breeding and market classes, while also taking part in the showmanship competition, which included divisions of PeeWee, Novice, Junior, Intermediate, and Senior. At the conclusion of the season, all were invited to the 2021 OH-PIGS Banquet that was kindly hosted by Nate Warner and his family on Saturday, August 14 in Washington Courthouse, Ohio. Following an evening of food, fun, and conversation, the winners for each breeding class, market class, and showmanship division were recognized by Morgan and the OH-PIGS Committee, which was capped off by the top-five in overall high points for the summer circuit.

2021 OH-PIGS Overall High Points: Top-5 • Overall High Points Champion – Riley Wendt • Reserve Hight Points Champion – Makenah Rohr • 3rd Place High Points – Grayden Sproull • 4th Place High Points – Travis Durst • 5th Overall High Points – Caydence Scale

Congratulations to all of our exhibitors and their families for another great year with the OH-PIGS Circuit. We are incredibly grateful to make this opportunity possible for you and we are unbelievably blessed to be a part of an industry that believes so much in their youth and the future of agriculture.
