Since its inception in 2000, the Buckeye Barrow Boosters has used more than $135,000 to support Ohio's junior swine showmen. The monies that the association allocates for the Swine Barn Sale of Champions are prorated according to the number of barrows shown in each breed division and, in part, have led to the increase in participation in many of the breed shows.

A sincere thank you to each of the members of the Buckeye Barrow Boosters for their continued support and understanding of Ohio's swine industry.

Any interested party is encouraged to join the Buckeye Barrow Boosters. For membership information please contact: Kevin Kremer - 419.366.4611.

The Buckeye Barrow Boosters once again did great work in support of the 2011 Ohio State Junior Fair Barrow sales.

This group of swine breeders asks its members to submit $2 for each show pig they sell during the spring of a given year and, along with donations from other industry supporters, uses these funds to "boost" the prices of the annual Ohio State Fair Barn Sale of champion breed barrows and to purchase savings bonds for each of the reserve champion breed barrows.
