By Dieter Krieg
THOMASVILLE • Tammy
Eltr-' ur, a 10-ycar old
fifth-grader at Kralltown
Elementary School in nor*
them York County, showed
the grand champion steer at
the York-Adams County 4-H
Beef Show on Wednesday
morning. The daughter of
James and Brenda
Eisenhour, Welsville,
Tammy is in her first year as
a 4-H’er and her steer,
“Smokey,” is the first one
she ever worked with.
“Smokey” has been
Tammy’s project and pet
since the beginning of the
year, when he was pur
chased from Warrington
Grees, also of Wellsville. She
showed the animal at the
York Fair in September and
captured a third place.
Asked what she had to do
to prepare “Smokey” well
enough to win first place, she
responded quickly: “Wash
him every night, and walk
him.” Her mother nodded in
agreement, adding that
Tammy had only missed her
working schedule oc
casionally on weekends. She
had been preparing
“Smokey” for this show for
the past two months.
Tammy’s parents are for
mer 4-H’ers and her

between classes was a little long, so
he and his Hereford steer strolled
maternal grandfather,
Frank Dcrmota, is a 4-H
leader.
Eleven-year old Andy
Smith, who has a street
address in Jacobus, walked
away with reserve grand
champion honors of the
show. He has been a 4-H’er
for two years and has taken a
big liking to country living
and responsibilities.
Although his parents, Stuart
and Mary Smith, do not own
or live on a farm, Andy has
become acquainted with
farm life by spending time at
his uncle’s and grandfather's
farms. He says he’d like to
be a farmer someday.
A sixth grader at
Dallastown Elementary
School, Andy has showed his
steer, “Ed,” at a couple of
other shows, including the
York Fair, where he was
reserve grand champion.

action on the screen.
