decision was made for Gail
Snyder of New Tripoli, Rl, to
become the 1977 Polled
Hereford Queen.
Her duties as queen consist
mainly of handing out rib
bons at shows and doing her
best to promote the breed of
Polled Herefords. She keeps
actively involved with the
breed, living with her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Er
nest D. Snyder, on a 150 acre
beef and hog farm. Right
now there are about 50 head
of cattle on the farm.
Being Hereford queen,
however, is not Gail’s only
activity. She is an active
member of many 4-H clubs,
including the Lehigh Co.
Baby Beef Club, where

In 1973, she had the Cham
pion Hereford in the
Regional 4-H Show and Sale,
and in 1976 showed the
champion pen of market
lambs at that show.
Besides being active in 4-
H, she is also involved in
many activites at Nor
thwestern Lehigh High
School where she is a senior.
She is a member of the band
color guard, the National
Honor Society and the
Student Council. She is also a
member of the Ebenezer
United Church of Christ, in
New Tripoli, where she
sometimes plays the organ.
Gail has lived on the farm
all her life and says she loves
it. Cats, sheep, and cattle are
her favorite animals and one
of her favorite parts of farm
work is working with the
animals. Most of her time
during the summer is spent
working with her 4-H
projects.
When working with her
Herefords, she had to first

halter break them, which she
does right after they are
weaned. Then they are
trained to stand squarely
and walk, and their coats are
washed and the hair trained
to brush just right.
Gail estimates that she
spends approximately an
hour a day working with her
steer and heifer, between
walking and grooming it.
When thinking of her
future plans, Gail thinks she
would like to go to college
and study agriculture,
perhaps at a school like Penn
State. She wants to stay close
to the farm life in her
vocation, possibly working
for the Extension service.
Asked how she became so
involved with livestock and
animals, Gail said she was
influenced by her brother,
Greg, and her parents.
“Besides,” she added,
smiling, “it’s very hard to
live on a farm and not get
involved.”
