particular animal came
from a load of western
steers. Her father finishes
about 600-700 head a year.
Although she has showed
at Harrisburg in past years,
Lmda doesn’t know if she
will go there this year or
not.“l think I’ll feed him for
round up,” she explained,
“but, six weeks is about his
limit, and not Farm Show.”
Linda’s brother, Tim, was
another repeat from the year
before. Both times he was
FFA grand champion. This
year he showed a Charolais-
Angus cross just as his sister
did. According to Tim, the
difference between the
animals which gave Linda’s
steer the edge over his was
the size - his was too large. 11 !

Allentown, explained his
choice of the top animal.
“Right now we like taller
cattle, and we especially like
longer animals from the last
rib back with a lot of length
in the loin area,” he said.
Gruber also pointed out that
he was searching for an
animal with a long rump and
full round. In his estimation
the grand champion most
nearly fit the description.
The reserve champion, he
said, was a little younger and
not as far along as the
champion, but was meaty as
well.
While the eight-year
showman basically repeated
his performance of last year,
there was one slight change.
This year he did not receive
reserve champion overall as
he had done previously.
Instead, the reserve
champion title went to Debra
Kreider, Manheim R 3, the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Richard K-eider. Debra,
however, was not on hand to
