Junior Holstein members
honored at state conventio
MONROEVILLE - _The
future of the Pennsylvania
Holstein dairy cow appears
to be in good hands. Nine
finalists in the state’s
distinguished junior
member contest attest to
that fact.
Penny Smith, Mansfield,
and Bradley Beidel, Carlisle,
were named the 1980
distinguished junior girl and
boy during the Association’s
annual banquet, held last
Friday evening in the
elegant ballroom of the A 1
Monzo Howard Johnson’s
near Pittsburgh.
Pretty and poised,
eighteen year-old Penny-
Smith is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. William Smith,
Mansfield R 2. A graduate of
Mansfield High School, she’s
spending her year
representing the Future
Farmers of America as a
state officer, traveling
across the state and
promoting FFA.
A junior Holstein member
for nine years, and 4-H dairy
exhibitors for ten, Penny
owns nine head of registered
Holsteins, eight of which she
bred herself. “Willmith
Elevation Amy” is probably
the current favorite of
Penny’s own-bred animals.
“Amy” earned high
honorable mention and
reserve junior All-
Pennsylvania honors this
year as a junior calf. She
took first place at the 1979
state Holstein show and
placed eighth at the Eastern
National show at Harrisburg
in September.
“Don’t give up,” is
Penny’s sound advice to
younger dairy members. It’s
a belief she not only
preaches, but has had to
before nearly 500 dairymen
and guest during the annual
banquet, held Friday
evening in the spacious
grand ballroom of the
Howard Johnson’s.
Two Holstein youth were
named as outstanding junior
members, with Penny

the distinguished junior girl
and Bradley Beidel, Carlisle,

practice as well. In fact, for
Penny, the walk to the front
of a show class was a long,
long one.
Her first dairy calf
freshened as a heifer with a

hopes pinned on her second
project calf. Penny then
helplessly watched while the
Hagen daughter developed a
severe case of ringworm,
and never grew back the
coat in time for the showrmg
competition. Then, « when
that heifer was to exhibit as
a 2-year-old, the animal
developed a lame foot.
Eventually as a mature
cow, she redeemed herself,
presenting Penny with two
daughters by Elevation.
When she became the
owner of a third heifer,
Penny’s hopes again soared,
only to be knocked flat to the
