Chair breaks tie to approve splitting market swine classes by sex
Summary
After a tied vote on whether to adopt a swine class‑splitting policy for 2027, the Campbell County Fair Board approved a superintendent's recommendation to split market swine classes by barrow and gilt; Chair Stephanie Styvar cast the tie‑breaking vote.
The board debated a proposal from Swine Superintendent Bob Isenberger to split market swine classes by male and female animals while keeping the same awards structure.
An initial motion to adopt the policy for 2027 failed for lack of a second. A subsequent motion to approve the superintendent's suggestion was seconded and went to a counted vote: Marilyn Christensen, Lisa Teigen and Jason Sinner voted no; Sabrina Jafek, Will Hastreiter and Myles Haugen voted yes. Chair Stephanie Styvar cast the tie‑breaking vote in favor and the motion passed.
The board directed staff to incorporate the class structure guidance into the Market Swine rules. The resulting Youth Livestock #12 language states that market classes will be established by weight and designated by sex (barrow or gilt) with class breaks chosen for ring safety and logical separations.
