fl3o—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, January 16,1982 Black Angus line up for “awesome” beef contest BY SHEILA MILLER FARM SHOW - It was an “awesome display’’ of Angus cattle at Wednesday’s Farm Show. That’s the way judge Joe Bill Meng of Bowling Green, Kentucky described the lineup of some of Pennsylvania’s most outstanding jet-black beef cattle. In choosing his grand champion female, Meng selected the senior champion and first place junior yearling shown by Genetics Unlimited of West Grove, Chester County. The judge described B F Caroline’s Play Girl as “long, with the right volume of muscling, for unlimited genetic potential.” Previously tagged grand cham pion of the N. Y. State Fair and the Keystone International Livestock Exposition in Harrisburg last October, Play Girl is demon- strating her sire’s ability to produce champion progeny. She is a P S Power Play daughter. For reserve grand champion, Meng went to the junior heifer calf champion exhibited by Cecil Teets of R 1 Freedom, Beaver County. Since the 18-year-old cattleman was unable to be at Farm Show due to inclement weather back home, the heifer was shown by Barbara* Sickler, an employee of Seldom Seen Angus, the Teets’ farm. Teets’ March calf bears the farm name, going by Seldom Seen Mother Top. Since she was an embryo transplant sired by Sayre Patriot, the name is appropriate. Top was carried and raised by one of the farm’s own recipient Angus heifers while her mother, a Colossal daughter, called Ankony Queen Mother is enrolled in the transplant program at New Bolton Center, Kennett Square. This marks the start of the farm’s second year in the transplant business and the thirtieth year for Farm Show competition. The senior heifer calf champion, CLK Erica 580, was shown by 20- year-old Carol Krause from R 3 Slatingdon, Lehigh County. The student at Mansfield State College took a break from her studies to lead this November daughter of General JJ Patton to the top of the late senior heifer calf class and on to the championship. Following in her older sister’s footsteps, 11-year-old Debra Krause exhibited her early senior heifer calf for a blue ribbon in class and then on to the reserve senior championship. H.F.

This was Cairns’ first championship in his five years of beef show com petition. Rishel’s own entry in the junior heifer calf class earned a cham pionship distinction after standing second to the reserve grand champion female. Edlyns Lady Evelyn was selected by Meng as the reserve junior calf champion. She is another P S Power Play daughter out of a Northern Prospector dam with an out standing show record of her own, including the reserve champion junior yearling of the 1979 National Junior Heifer Show held in In dianapolis. She also produced a full sister to this year’s champ (Lady Evelyn) that was chosen reserve grand champion of the 1981 Keystone International Open Angus Show.

Pat-Ric’s Angus Farm of R 1 Germansville topped the Angus bull competition with their first place early junior yearling, Pat- Ric Henry. His first blue ribbon came easily, smce Henry was the sole entry in that class, but he proved his worth by besting the other division champions to become junior champion and then went on to the grand spotlight. Owned in partnership- with Kyburg Angus Farm of Lyons, N.Y., the Pennsylvania-bred bull, sired by SWA Ideal Marathon, was previously recognized as a grand champ at last year’s Keystone International and Eastern National shows.
