Winning Broadbent ham sells for record price

Record setting pork prices were on the menu Thursday at the Kentucky State Fair.  
 
The Country Ham Breakfast auction of the grand champion ham netted a record $5 million dollars with Kelly Craft and Central Bank going in together on the bid. The same two parties teamed up for last year's $4.8 million, the previous record.  
 
The 17.25 pound ham produced by Broadbent B & B Foods owners Ronny and Beth Drennan of Cadiz sold for roughly $290,000 a pound with the combined bid.  
 
The money will go to a charity chosen by the winners.
