The students
Typical of the touring students are Kyla Allen of Glen Mills and Hannah Drexler from Lewisburg, both in Pennsylvania. They're 16 and will be juniors this fall in their respective high schools. Glen Mills is near Philadelphia, whihc Lewisburg is north of Lancaster.

The students seemed fascinated by sows and their newborn younguns. They learned that a litter might include the offspring of several boars.
