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. Blackbird 75 is
a September daughter of P S

Cairns purchased the heifer at age
6-months and added her to ids
small foundation herd of three
registered Angus heifers. 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.
Dale Rains of R 2 Mercer showed
the reserve intermediate cham
pion, La Play Sue PFBB. She is a

The reserve junior champion
female honors went to SBF Miss
Barbara 039, a junior yearling
shown by South Branch Farms, R 8
York. This March 1980 female is
sired by PS Energizer.
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.
