Why He Shows His Dairy Animals
(Continued from Page 1)
mals in competition last week
weren’t clipped properly, even
though he knows that their
parents know how to do it. He
thinks it’s their duty to see that
a cow is clipped right and help
their children make the best
showing possible.
He believes that animals
which win in shows sell for
higher prices.
Does showmanship have any
thing to do with determining
winners? Frey feels that show
ing and fitting are important.
While he does not feel that
showing and fitting can com
pensate for a poor animal, he
does believe that when it’s a
toss-up between two animals,

the better shown and fitted ani
mal wins.
“In a big national show, there
may be very little difference
between the top six or the top
two or three animals. Different
judges may even disagree. I feel
the guy who presents his ani
mal best to the judge often
wins.”
Frey believes that an impor
tant part of showing is a full
awareness of the animal's
strengths and weaknesses and
traits. By controlling the ani-
mal’s position through leading
and occasionally nudging and
pinching at the right time and
place, the knowledgeable show
man can make the animal look'
her best.
He noted, for instance, that
a seemingly unimportant thing
such as the position of the
cow’s legs when she is standing
can influence the appearance of
the udders. By knowing the
quality of the udders and pro
per positioning of the legs, the
showman can make the best ap
pearance possible.
In relation to the udder, Frey
believes that one of the biggest
mistakes most showmen make
Pa. Florists' Convention Set Here
The annual Pennsylvania
Florists’ Convention will be

ter August 29-31.
Kenneth Fries, Lancaster'

Growers, retailers and allied
tradesmen will attend a com
munications workship under the
direction of two Penn State pro
fessors, David E. Butt and A.
Jackson McCormack, Penn State

The workshop will emphasize
the importance of “getting
through to people” such as sup
pliers, competitors, hankers,
customers, employees, family
workers, and fellow trades
people.

is what he calls “over bagging.”
A cow milking 90 pounds of
milk a day may have the ap
pearance of bulging when the
udder is full, Frey explained.
Instead of leaving 12 hours
of milk in the udder, a better
appearance may be obtained
with 10 hours. He noted that he
showed Ginger as reserve cham
pion All-American at only eight
hours of milk.
He said he picked this tip up
from showmen at some of the
big national shows
He also emphasized that the
way the animal is cleaned is
very, very important.
In getting ready for the
Black and White Show, all Ful
tonway show animals were
brought to the bam four to six
weeks before the show. They
were given light amounts of
grain and some beet pulp and

washed and clipped the day
before the show.

necessary in the summer to get
