THEY’RE HOG RAISING CHAMPIONS
IDA GROVE, IOWA — George and Karl Hoffman (left to right
above), brothers of Ida County, Iowa, are America's undisputed hog
raising champions. At the recent Chicago Market Fat Stock Compe
tition, the wartime edition of the world famous International Live
Stock Exposition, they won all firsts in the hog carlot division, and
the Grand Championship over all breeds with the 260 pound Berk
shire« shown above. Tne Hoffmans had twice previously won the
International Carlot championship in 193# and 1941, but never before
had anyone won all firsts. The brother«' farms near here look not
unlike thousands of other farms of the state. No special hog raising
equipment is used. AU of the Hoffmans' hogs are pur« bred Berkshire».
