DELTA A merciless
blazing sun and near record
temperatures failed to wilt
spirits at the York County
Junior Holstein association’s
annual fitting and showing
day, hosted Thursday, July

Delta R 2.
During the annual
workshop, two-member
teams, generally one novice
and one more experienced
older youth, were matched
up with unbroken heifer
calves. The pairs tied their
animals throughout Paul
and Kathy King’s im
maculate stall bam to plan
their attacks with buzzing
clippers on errant toplines,
shaggy shoulders and hairy
hocks.
Then it was off to the feed
bunk, where hoses, buckets,
brushes and soap had been
assembled, and soon

water doused calves and
kids alike. Finally, amidst
tugging and pushing, pulling
and persuading, calves were
getting some notion - albeit
reluctantly - of what this
showing business was all
about.
Following a midday lunch
provided by Service Feed
and Supply of Delta, judge
Jane Pepple, of Pep-L-Lea
Farms at Oxford Rl, lined
up the 17 teams of
youngsters and calves.
After careful con
sideration, plus suggestions
on fitting to the exhibitors,
judge Pepple chose the calf
