In the heart of the 2025 Iowa State Fair, a remarkable event unfolded – the Biggest Boar Competition. This annual contest, showcasing the largest pigs, crowned a new champion this year – a Yorkshire boar named Duke, owned by Brian Britt from Monticello, Iowa.
Weighing an impressive 1,268 pounds, Duke stole the show, breaking the previous record[1][3]. His victory marked the second time Britt's pigs have triumphed in this esteemed competition, although the exact year of the previous win is not specified.
