At the recent Chicago Market Fat Stock Competition, the war-time edition of the world famous International In-ternational Livestock Exposition, they won all firsts in the hog carlot division, and the Grand Championship over all breeds with the 250-pound Berkshires shown above. The Hoffmans had twice previously won the International Carlot championship in 1939 and 1941, but never before had anyone won all firsts. The brothers' farms near here look not imlike thousands of other farms of the state. No special hog-raising equipment is used. J |
