Brubaker placed third in the
nation at the 11th annual
National Junior Angus
Showmanship contest held
on August 1 in Louisville, Ky.
This competition was held in
conjunction with the ninth
annual National Junior
Angus Heifer show.
According to show of
ficials, the contest featured
72 of die finest young cattle
showmen from 38 states, and
Brubaker earned the right to
take part in the competition
when he placed second in the
Pennsylvania Junior Angus
Showmanship contest at the
Pennsylvania Farm Show in
January. Also winning the
chance to attend the national
competition was David
Wylie, Nottingham R 2, who
place first at the state level.
According to Brubaker, in
national competition there
were five classes with 15
individuals in each class and
three judges to do the
scoring. Then, on July 30, the
top 15 finalists were chosen
as well at 17 honorable
mentions. As luck would
have it, Brubaker's name
was the second from the last
to be called, a situation
which caused a slight bit of
anxiety for the beef
showman.
The next day the top five
finalists were chosen after 50
minutes in a class and,
again, Brubaker’s name was
on the list - this time as the
third highest Angus
showman in the nation.
“We didn’t have our
animals out there,”
Brubaker explained. “But,
the judges took that into
consideration.” Each

National Junior Angus Showmanship contest held
on August 1 at Louisville, Ky. Brubaker competed
against 72 cattle showmen from 38 states.
competitor was given two
animals to show, and the
judges looked for handling
ability, poise, technique,
style, and the way the
showmen could visually
correct the animal’s faults.
Reflecting on how his
talents developed to the point
that he could place third in
the nation, Brubaker stated,
“The ability to show comes
from experience and
practice and knowledge
gained by watching
professionals. I’ve always
enjoyed fitting and showing.
My interest began in 4-H and
it’s been building year after
year.”
Among his many 4-H
NEW
LLO
awards, Brubaker has won
the fitting and showmanship
honors at many a Lancaster
County fair, and this year
was the top Lancaster
County beef showman at the
state Farm Show.
Combining business with
pleasure, Brubaker began
working for Keystone Cattle
Service, a fitting service,
Elizabethtown, last week.
Starting Wednesday, he
began a show circuit that
will take him to Illinois,
Indiana, and Kentucky, and
will finish just in time for
him to begin orientation at
Penn State University, York,
Campus, as an animal
production major.
