Herrs take several
blues in lamb meet
EPHRATa Barbara
and Margaret Herr came
over from R 2 Narvon to the
Ephrata Fair and showed an
assortment of several breeds
to blue ribbons in the
Ephrata Fair Lamb Show.
In addition they finished
one-two in the on-foot
judging in the lamb carcass
show.
About the only lamb blue
ribbons that the Herrs didn’t
take home were in the
divisions where they had no
entries.
Barbara Herr, a Garden
Spot FFA’er took both the
grand championship and
reserve championship in the
market lamb division. Her
Hampshire ewe took the blue
while her Southdown entry
was second.
Earlier in the contest show
judge Ken Brubaker of Blue
Acres Farm, Lancaster,
commented, “I’ve never
seen a Southdown so good”
when he placed that animal
at the top of its class.
It had size and con
formation to beat out some
classy Suffolks and another
Hampshire m the final
judging.
In the carcass show
Barbara Herr’s 112 pound
entry edged out Margaret’s
100 pounder by a hair.
Brubaker said he liked the
length of loin, clean, trim,
good overall muscling of the
top animal although he felt
the second was better
conditioned.
The blue ribbon winner, he
said, showed the best
combination and com
pleteness in the show while
the runner-up did not show
the same muscle develop
ment.
Third place went to Barry
Martin, fourth to Christian
Herr. Rail judging and
carcass lamb auction Friday
night were too late to be
included in this listing.
