Ann Peischel’s 1150-pound
Angus, “Victory,” brought $4.60

Friday the 13th Miss Pei
schel, of Columbia County, had
“a feeling” before the sale that
Friday the 13th would not
prove to be “too lucky.” The
Penn Slate freshman, who
hopes some day to become a
veterinarian, collected $5,290
for her champion. Last year’s
champion, shown by Billy
Davis, was a 1060-pound Here
