COUNTY EXHIBITORS "STAR" AT KEYSTONE
Morgantown Family Stuns Exposition
With Control of Junior Beef Show
When youngsters in one family enter eight baby beeves
in a major show, that’s news. When they capture the Grand
and Reserve championships of the entire junior division of
a major livestock exposition, that’s really news.
But when they take seven steers into that show and
place at the top, in order of standing within their entries,
in every class, with every animal they enter, that’s im
possible.
At least it was until Paul,
Wesley and Rhoda Mast, Morgan
town, Lancaster County did just
that Wednesday at the Pennsyl
vania National Livestock Ex
position.
Wesley, 15, exhibited one of
his Angus steers to the Grand
Championship over the Hereford
of brother Paul, age 19, and a
Shorthorn, exhibited by Connie
Quesenberry, Stewartslown 4-H
member.
' After the judge indicated his
championship placing, his sister
Mae, 13, led in the Angus reserve
champion to compete for junior
show reserve championship.
Paul’s Hereford champion won
this spot, while the championship
class saw three members of the
same family competing.
With their seven junior show
steers, the Mast trio, assisted by
Mae, who has produced five show
calves in the past, won these
honors.
Grand and Reserve Champion
of the Junior Steer Show.
Grand and Reserve champions
of the angus division.
Grand Champion of the Here
ford division.
Champions of all Angus class
es.
Reserve champs of two Angus
classes.
One third place in one of those
two.
They also provided 3 steers for
the Champion Lancaster County
QuarryviUe (Lancaster County) Pa., Friday, Nov. 14, 1958
4-H steer group, compnsed of
solely class champions and run
ner-ups.
Following the clean sweep of
every honor they competed for,
the four youngest children of
Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Mast, Mor
gantown, left the arena and offi
cials in confusion as to who won
what.
After a continual swapping of
halter leads for the various class
es as they rushed to exhibit all
seven of their entne, the only
conclusion was that what the
Mast family missed, the rest of
Lancaster County’s junior en
tries didn’t.
Fo rinstance: in the Angus
summer yearling class, Wesley,
Paul and Rhoda swept the, top
three honors. From there on it
was Magda Frey, QuarryviUe,
4th; Marlin L. Cassel, Manheim,
9th; Lorraine Hackman. Eliza
bethtown, 10th; John J. Good,
Manheim, 12th, and E. Bruce
Boyd, Ephrata, 15th.
An even more decisive sweep
was administered in the Angus
junior yearling class as Rhoda
copped first place, foUowed by
Paul.
Then, in order, Darvin Boyd,
Ephrata, 3rd; John J. Frey, Q
ville, 4th; E. Bruce Boyd, sth;
Darvin Boyd, 6th; Glen Foreman,
Manheim, 7th; Gary Kreiner, E
town, Bth; Marlin Cassel, 12th;
Larry G. Falco, Millersville, 13th;
Barry Carper, Lancaster, 14th,
“about half” of the ribbons they won in the Wednesday event. Leading
Lancaster County 4-H’ers in a near complete sweep of the state show,
the members of the Mast family suffered defeat in six classes, showing
seven steers only at the hands of a brother or sister no one else
could turn the trick. LF PHOTOS

Still another major victory for
a Lancaster County exhibitor
was registered by Fred Frey, Jr.,
QuarryviUe. The 25-year-old coun
ty farmer achieved a complete
sweep of the on-foot and on-rail
division of the carcass steer
event in the open show. This is
Frey’s second/ victory in this
