I bought a hog this morning at the Bedford County Fair’s Jr. Livestock Auction. I try to go to the 5 auctions of this type in the Senate district each year. Today was the first of this fair season. The young lady who auctioned off the animal presented me with a basket of muffins and cookies after she was done showing her two pigs. This was her last 4H auction having just graduated from Chestnut Ridge High School. Her sister also introduced herself and we had a lengthy conversation about their futures and the future of agriculture. They were bright, polite and obviously hard working young women. They are great examples of the kids that go through these 4H animal programs. I was glad to support the efforts.
