A32—Lancaster Fanning, Saturday, January 19,1980 Lancaster Co. champs comment BY SHEILA MILLER HARRISBURG - What do you feel like after winning the grand championship at the Farm Show with an animal you’ve worked with and pampered all year long? And the very next day, you lead that animal into a sales ring and know that you’ll never see it at home again. This is a moment that every Junior showman must face during the experience called Farm Show. For some, it’s easy to part and for others it’s probably the hardest thing they’ve ever done in their lives. The faces of the young men and women show a mixture of bravery and sadness. At tunes, the front of being unconcerned breaks down and tears come streammg, involuntarily, down their faces. For most of the Juniors, the chance of raising the animal and then selling it at the Farm Show is a con tinuing lesson during their years mFFA or 4-H. For Ernie Frey, his steer, Roadrunner, was his sixth 4-H project. But, Roadrunner undoubtedly will be special in Ernie’s memories because he won his first grand champion with this Angus x Chianma crossbred steer. After the sale, when Ernie was paid a new record price for his 4-H project, he said he planned to invest his ear nings into a herd of cattle.

Deputy Secretary of Agriculture. cows with a Chianina bpll, he said. Another Lancaster County winner, Chns Herr said he is planning to invest the money he received for the sale of his reserve grand champion steer, Houston, in schooling. He hopes to attend Penn State and major in agri business or ag engineering. When asked what he did to raise his crossbred steer to win the reserve cham pionship, Chns said he pushed the May calf with high protein grain to get him to grow. By the Chianina Field Days held last summer, Chris said he almost thought Houston was too big. “I decided to pull back and just hold him, letting him coast on a little gram and pasture,” Chris explained. “I also walked him twice a day.” Chris said Houston caught on quick in his halter breaking and leading lessons. And added, if anything, Houston was just a bit lazy when it came to exercising. He said the big steer’s disposition was just like a baby’s. “He even acts kind of dumb when you catch him doing something wrong.” When working with an animal that size, the tem perament is a vital con sideration.
