Dr. Bob Hines Swine Classic slated for early July
Kansas The first Dr. Bob Hines Swine Classic, formerly the Kansas Swine Classic, will be July 6 and 7 at Cico Park in Manhattan, Kan. The two-day event for youth includes educational workshops, a showmanship contest, and a prospect and market hog show. The show is open to any Kansas youth who were 7 to 18 years old as of Jan. 1, 2007. The Classic's long-time sponsors are Kansas State University's Department of Animal Sciences and Industry and K-State Research and Extension. Dr. Bob Hines became part of the event's name this year, to honor one of the Classic's founders.

The registration cost for this year's show is $15 per animal, postmarked by June 29.
