A22— Lancaster Farming, Saturday, October 9,1982
BY DICK ANGLESTEIN
MANHEIM He’s the closest
thing to being an actual extension
of the animal he’s showing.
It’s almost as if he and the
animal were one living being in the
show ring.
He’s 19-year-old Jim Stauffer, of
345 Weaver Road, who has won
scores of champion rosettes and
showmanship trophies over the
past six years or so in Lancaster
area sheep competition.
And Thursday night he collected
another pair of top awards.
His 100-pound Suffolk ewe, en
tered as a sale lamb, won the
grand championship of the large
sheep show at the Manheim Farm
Show.
And, Jim was an easy winner in
the senior showmanship com
petition.
Stauffer’s close affinity to the
animals he’s showing must have a
positive effect on the judge in the
ring. And judge, Lee Wagner,
Dorset breeder and graduate of
Delaware Valley College from
Bethlehem, was no exception at
Manheim.
Stauffer sets up his lambs with
amazing speed. He has all four feet
planted in perfect position before
most showmen have the first
spotted.
And he has little tricks he con
stantly employs to get the best
from his lamb. He’s always
chucking it under the chin to get
the head up and best body ex
tension.
And if you watch closely you’ll
see him tossing little tufts of grass
up in front of the lamb to get the
utmost in perkiness just at the
right moment.
With the lamb under complete
control at all times, Stauffer
moves with a smoothness and
grace that rivals the motions of the
Manheim

He’s the J’ of sheep showing
animal itself.
He’s the “Doctor J” of sheep
showing in Lancaster County and
he had his “double dunk” again
Thursday night.
Reserve championship of the
show went to 14-year-old Pam
Yeagley with a big Hampshire
wether, that previously had taken
best of show at Elizabethtown
Fair.
She’s the daughter of Elvin and
Jestena Yeagley, of R 1
Eliza bethjtown.
Stauffer and Pam seem to be
trading off the grand cham
pionships at Manheim in recent
years. Stauffer took it two years
ago, again with a sale ewe, and
Pam won it last year.
Stauffer, a sophomore at Penn
State in ag business and
economics, took a semester off for
showing this year - his last in 4-H.
He has a flock of 30 or 40 and will be
back at State in December.
All told, he’s accumulated some
30 grand or reserve rosettes and
about 10 showmanship honors.
