Eleven-year-old Stoney Frye of Sperryville never showed animals at a 4-H show before he found himself at this year’s CulpeperMadison - Rappahannock Farm Show with the grand champion swine. Stoney says he raised a winner on the first try. “It’s not too hard if you know what you’re doing. At first I didn’t, but I got use to it."
Friday, Stoney and Seemore, a Duroc crossed Hampshire, had been together for 86 days. Their relationship started when agricultural adviser Oliver Brown took the piglet to Stoney and said, “Here’s your project.” Now Seemore weighs 230 pounds and Stoney is pretty proud of his PigBeginner’s
luck? Stoney doesn’t think so. He says he’ll come back next year with two animals.
A Rappahannock County resident, Stoney Frye attends school in Culpeper and belongs to the Culpeper 4-H club.
