Delaware announces Junior
Broiler contest winners
DOVER, Del. - Paul
Enterlme of Dover is the
champion in this year’s
Delaware Junior Broiler
Contest. Scoring an im
pressive 95.75 out of a
possible 100 points against a
total of 103 entries, Enterlme
won both a trophy and $5O in
prize money.
Second-place winner in the
event was Ben Carrow of
Clayton with 94.5 points. He
received $4O for his out
standing performance.
Wayne Carlisle of
Woodside duplicated his 1979
record, placing third with
93.0 points.
Scores were based on a
number of factors, including
confirmation, condition,
appearance and uniformity
of entry, weight, and record
keeping. Each contestant
started with 50 wing-banded
chicks The best seven of
each flock were judged at
the end of the growout
period.
For the first time in the
history of the contest the
growing period was shor
tened to 47 days two less
than last year. This was done
because of the improved
growth rate of newer strains
of broiler chickens. In 1977
the growing time was 52
days. When the contest
began 32 years ago, it took
about 10 weeks for the birds
to reach processing size.
Ann Moore of Wyoming
raised the heaviest entry this
year Her seven birds totaled
38.5 pounds for an average
weight of 5 5 pounds. She
also produced the heaviest
bird last year Overall
average weight of competing
broilers was 4.59 pounds, live
weight.
Cash prizes were also
awarded to the following
contestants in order of
placement- Valene Mast,
Hartly, Sondra Warren,
