4-H and FFA’ers not only in

petition.
And, local fairs are still con

At New Holland Fair:
One 4-H dynasty ends
and another begins
BY DICK ANGLESTEIN
NEW HOLLAND - One 4-H
family baby beef showing dynasty
may have come to an end at the
New Holland fair on Thursday, but
another in bog showing may have
firmly established itself.
The grand champion steer was
shown by 15-year-old Lon Martin,
HI Narvon, whose older brother
and sister, Kon and Linda, cap
tured similar titles in the past.
And 11-year-old Kenton Good, HI
Denver, made it two years in a row
with the 4-H hog champion.
But look out Kenton, younger
brother, Kurtis, 10, had the reserve
champion this year. They’re the
sons of Ezra Good, who wears that
same kind of cap so familiar at 4-H
and FFA hog sales throughout the

And speaking of sales, the Good
brothers sold their grand and
reserve champions to Hatfield.

operation of Middle Tennessee
Livestock Co., Eaglevtlie, Tenn.
Kenton’s grand champ last year
had a similar origin.
