l ' Sheep become family project
the Twenty-third Psalm which
says that the Lord is our Shepard."
And, says Anne, "We eat a lot of
lamb. We really enjoy the taste of
it. Soutbdowns are known for good
eating. It makes a big difference in
how you make it, too. We have so
many people tell us they don’t like
lamb, and we think they just'
haven’t been exposed to lamb well
prepared.”
“1 just put salt and pepper on it,
put it in the oven, uncovered and
let it cook slowly at 325 degrees.
It’s best to put it ma pan that will
allow the fat to dnp off,” Anne
offered.
This intense love of sheep has
helped the Rohrer children prove
wrong a popular belief that only
farm kids can be successful m 4-H
when it comes to working with
f j farm animals. For though they live
* on a farm, the Rohrer family does
no farming. Anne is a sign painter

for himself.
They only other animal they
have raised on their farm, besides
cats, is not a cow or a pig, but a
buffalo.
“We saw an advertisement for a
buffalo heifer in the mailbox
market of the Lancaster Farming
and we called. We wanted
something different for a pet,”*
Robert admits, laughing.
“We used to have people who
stopped in this area of the county
just to see the buffalo. Un
fortunately, it has died. We joked
about announcing it in the paper so
that people wouldn’t drive the
whole way here for nothing," Anne
added.
Well then folks, here it is: the
Rohrer buffalo has died. Now what
you’ll see'when you drive by the
Rohrer homestead is a flock of
champion sheep and the Rohrer
family working diligently to
prepare them for show.

Turkey
LANCASTER - YOU
TURKEY! is a fine compliment
not a put down WHY? Wild
turkeys are the most intelligent,
crafty, elusive game animal in the
Pennsylvania forest. Ask any
hunter (who is honest) he will
tell you the turkey is almost im
possible to catch. Domestic
turkeys were wild turkeys only 400
years ago.
In 1934, per capita turkey con
sumption in the US was about one
pound per person per year it is
now 11 pounds. This 1000% in
crease in consumption of turkey is
greater than percentage increase
of other meats. This is because
turkey tastes good.
Buy a 24-pound fresh dressed or
frozen young tom and quarter it.
Freeze three quarters and roast
one six-pound quarter. This can be
covered and roasted at 350* F for
25 min for each pound or a total of
2% hours. This way one turkey
provides four meals for a family of
seven to ten people. Cost per
serving is less than most red meats
and fish. In fact, cost per serving
can be one-fourth to one-half that
of red meats or fish.
Across America the turkey
Lancaster Fanning, Saturday, November 21,1981—819
consumption increases
dinner, supper, banquet, church
social or low cost meal is usually a
big, young tom. Price or cost per
serving when large whole turkeys
are roasted is lowest among all
meats. At fire halls, churches.
Legions or dining places turkey is
usually featured.
Turkey can help keep you
healthy. It is a good source of
easily digestible complete protein.
Turkey is low'in fat and low in
sodium. Scientists advise diets
with less fat and less sodium.

Pennies go farther with turkey.
Cost per serving can be 39 cents or
less.
Per capita consumption of
turkey has increased two pounds
over the last two years. Turkey
fanners are excited about this. It
will increase as long as inflation
continues.
Thanksgiving will soon be here -
the turkey is ready - waiting in the
grocery store and more are
coming from the farm and the
processor. So get perky - eat
turkey!
