When the 4-H winner, a 1235-

with Chianma, judge Dan Loy,
Penn State grad student and coach
of the livestock judging team, went
to the smaller, stockier animal.
The roan and white was shown
by 15-year-old Lon Good, daughter
of Paul and Vera Good, 795 W.

remarked.
"He has the most ot everything -
frame size and muscle.
"But with interest rates where
they are today, these animals are
just too big to finish.
"Therefore, I must go to the
smaller 4-H animal.
Lon, who got her steer from Carl
Herr, ot Lampeter, calls him
"Benson.” (He does have some
Angus blood.)
Lon will show him at the County
Roundup on November 9 and then
must make a decision whether to
market him or possibly shrink him
tor the Farm Show.
Lon is the fourth Good 4-H’er to
compete. Her older sister and two
brothers preceded her in 4-H,
raising their projects on the
family’s 100-acre hog and steer
farm.
“My sister helped me get started
two years ago, but this year I was
all on my o wn, ” Lon explained.
