Levi Herren of the Canadian County 4-H showed the Grand Champion Barrow that came to the Premium sale as the Champion Crossbred and the overall Champion of the 2009 Tulsa State Fair Market Hog show. Levi drove his animal around the sale ring as bidders took the final price for his barrow to $14,000. The twelve year old receives his premium payday from a combo bid from L.C. Neal and Kent Show Feeds. The top barrow in 2009 brought $4,000 more than in 2008.

Levi's Barrow was the Champion Crossbred- and the reserve Champion Crossbred was judged to be the second best animal of the whole show- so Chandler Elliott of the Latta 4-H ended up with a $5,000 payday for the Reserve Grand Champion Barrow. The buyer was Expo Serve.
