DEVON Local, national and
world equestrian champions are
sharing the spotlight with high
fashion boutiques, a carnival midway
and a trained buffalo at
the 87th Devon Horse Show and
Country Fair which continues
through next Saturday.
A record field of five world
champions will be competing in the
saddlebred divisions. These high
stepping crowd pleasers compete
almost nightly.
Another major draw this year
will be the open jumper classes,
always the most exciting events at
Devon as top national riders and
horses compete against the clock
over big jumps on tight courses.
This year, with the 1984 Olym
pics looming ever larger, the open
jumpers will draw one of the best
fields in Devon history.
Among top competitors will be

nightly in the Dixon Oval will be
Jerry Olsen and his trained buf
falo, Chief.
Olsen, whose home is in Belle
Fourehe, S.D., and his trained
buffalo have amazed audiences for
almost a decade.
Olsen and his father, both well
known on the rodeo circuit began
training buffalo in the early six
ties, and after his father’s death in
1966, Jerry continued the tradition.
Chief is the third buffalo that
Olsen, a rodeo clown and steer
wrestler, has used while touring
the United States and Canada.
The Devon Show Grounds are
located on Route 30 in Devon.
Paint causing wool problems
DENVER, Colo. Paint brands,
which are generally scourable and
present little problems when raw
wool is scoured to make top, have
been a major concern in this year’s
wool clip, according to industry
sources. Many territory wools,
including some “reputation” clips
are being contaminated by paint
that is “bleeding” throughout the
fleece and actually tinting or
permanently dyeing the scoured
top. In the past, the paint that did
not scour out would be dry and
“hard” so that it could be picked
off by hand after scouring. This
year, entire lots (70,000 pounds)

are contaminated by the paint
brand bleeding problem, even
after scouring. Red and black
branding paints are a particular
problem.
The problem results from paint
used by sheep producers in
branding their animals, a practice
required by law in most western
states for identification. According
to the industry officials, the only
recourse to try to minimize the
problem at the mill level is a very
expensive backwashing procedure
which is not totally effective and
costs as much as 50 cents per
pound, an expense which cannot be
tolerated by the trade. The

problem has even affected some
“reputation” clips which generally
bring premium prices.
The industry is taking a close
look to see what can be done to
eliminate the bleeding problem.
Meanwhile, sheep producers are
encouraged to strictly avoid
diluting paint brands, which could
alter the formula, and use only
scourable paint brands as directed
on the label.
The industry needs to come up
with an alternative, perhaps ear
tags, to eliminate paint brands
altogether, according to a trade
spokesman.
