In one of the most competitive divisions of breeding sheep shows, Tim and Sarah's outstanding entries tied up the grand championships in both the Hampshire ewe and ram classes. Sarah, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Brubaker, Lancaster, won the first trophy for their Hamp shire entries as she led their spring ram lamb to the top of his class and on to the grand championship. “We weren’t expecting to win,” exclaimed Sara excitedly after judge Leroy Boyd of Starkville, Mississippi tapped her lamb for the win. No stranger to the win ner’s circle, the Farm Show champion also took top honors at last September’s York Fair. Sarah explained that the ram is homebred, sired by a Wilson ram out of a Deakin ewe. Later in the show Sunday af ternoon, husband Tim exhibited their outstanding Hampshire spring ewe lamb to the cham pionship of the Hampshire show. Judge Boyd described the eye catching female as the entry displaying the “most size, scale and structural correctness.” Tim pointed out other important wins already captured by this impressive ewe sired by a Brubaker ram out of a Deakin ewe, including a fifth place in her class of late junior ewe lambs at the National Hampshire Show in Louisville, along with supreme champion ewe honors at the York Fair. • The Fleeners’ two champions are part of a growing flock of Shropshire and Hampshire sheep that the couple keeps at the Brubaker’s Lancaster farm. Sarah, is currently employed by Atlantic Breeder's Cooperative while Tim is an employee of L.H. Brubaker, Lancaster. Dave Lytle of New London, Chester County, claimed both reserve championships in the Hampshire show. A senior at the University of Delaware majoring in agriculture business management, Dave owns a flock of 50 registered Hampshires. Taking reserve grand champion ram honors was Lytle’s spring ram lamb sired by Heatwave., an Idaho ram, and out of a Chapman ewe. Dave used the same ram to sire his reserve grand champion ewe, another spring lamb. This was the first show ring competition for the two reserve champion entries. Lytle also exhibited the first place flock of the Hampshire show. He noted that his interest in raising sheep began 10 years ago through 4-H experience. Lytle attributes much of his success to the support and help he’s received (Turn to Page D 18) county agent, Schuylkill County; Donna Skog, county agent, Luzerne County: and Rick Smith, county agent, Sullivan County.
