The sheep classes at the
Keystone International Livestock
Exposition have always been the
biggest in sheer numbers. When
the 17th renewal of the Keystone
International opens for its six
day run on Nov. 8, 1973, in the
Farm Show, they will also show
the biggest increase in numbers
over last year’s entries.
In addition to sheep and lambs,
Keystone International judging
also covers seven breeds of
swine, five breeds of beef cattle
and three breeds of saddle hor
ses.
There is a three-fold reason for
both the size of the sheep show
and its apparent increasing
popularity. First, a sheep ran
cher can humanely and with
greater facility pack more sheep
into a truck than can breeders of
the other three livestock species.
Secondly, with the rise of beef
prices in recent years, the con
suming public appears to have
rediscovered its taste for lamb.

The third, and perhaps biggest
reason for this year’s spurt in
sheep entries is the decision by
the American Hampshire Sheep
Association to hold its 1973
Eastern Regional Show at the
Keystone International Livestock
Exposition. The Hampshire
breed ranked 4th in the sheep
department with respect to the
number of head shown at the 1972
exposition. With Eastern
Regional status they should
easily catapault into first place
among the 11 breeds of sheep.
The special Hampshire ac
tivities will occupy all of Monday
afternoon and evening, Nov. 12,
beginning with the breeding
classes at 12:30 p.m. and con
tinuing with the yearling bred
ewe sale at 4:30 p.m. and then
followed by the annual banquet
and meeting of the association at
the Ramada Inn, Mechanicsburg.
Premiums for the Hampshire
Eastern Regional have been
scaled upwards from 40 to 70
percent.
The popular Ladies Lead Class
is back again this year, in spades.
The regular feature will be held
as usual, at approximately 8

Hog Cholera Committee
Urges Vigilance
While noting substantial
progress, the Secretary of
Agriculture’s National Hog
Cholera Eradication Advisory
Committee called for continual
vigilance to finally wipe out the
costly hog cholera disease.
At its semi-annual meeting
held in St. Louis in conjunction
with the U. S. Animal Health
Association conventions, the
committee observed that hun
dreds of millions of dollars
already have been saved in terms
of greatly reduced swine losses
and the elimination of vaccine
costs to producers.
To prevent a resurgence of the
disease such as occurred in 1972,
however, the committee called
for adoption of an identification
system that would allow tracing
of diseased swine back to farms
of origin. In the past, when
outbreaks occurred in marketing
channels, infection often could
not be traced to its source. Such
undetected pockets of infection
then could cause additional
outbreaks.
Currently, only four states - -
Indiana, New Jersey, North
Carolina and Texas - - are not
considered free of hog Cholera.
The committee also pointed out
that only two swine herds have
been infected with hog cholera in
the last six months.
The committee urged,
however, that federal and state
governments step up their sur
veillance in high risk areas

in a most attractive manner, led
on a halter by an appropriately
attired attractive young lady
between the ages of 16 and 22. The
Sunday evening event is open to
any breed of sheep while Monday
afternoon will see only Hamp
snires in the ring. The winner of
the Hampshire event will be
eligible to compete in a national
event in Chicago later in
November.
especially those along the U. S -
Mexico border. One of the two
recent hog cholera outbreaks
occurred in southern Texas,
along that border.
In addition, the committee
cautioned the swine industry to
beware of those persons who
attempt to market “scrub” hogs
known in the trade as “culls” or
“junk” hogs. These hogs are
more likely to be carriers of
diseases, and pose serious
threats to the health of other
animals if allowed to be diverted
from slaughter plants to farms or
feedlots for additional feeding.
Hog cholera is a highly in
fectious virus disease usually
fatal to swine. It affects no other
animals or humans. The national
cooperative program to
eradicate hog cholera in the
United States began in late 1962
with the backing of industry.
Dr. Francis J. Mulhern, ad
ministrator of USDA’s Animal
and Plant Health Inspection
Service, is chairman of the 12-
member advisory committee on
hog cholera eradication. Com
mittee members include
producers, marketing interests,
private veterinarians, state and
federal veterianary officials,
agricultural and commodity
organizations, and represen
tatives of the scientific and
academic communities.
