Newcomer wins
BY KIMBERLY HERR
LAMPETER A newcomer to
the sheep ring at West Lampeter
Fair walked away with grand
champion honors Wednesday.
Barry Martin, 18-year-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. John A. Martin, East
Earl Rl, won the grand champion
market lamb trophy for bis March
bom Suffolk, which also took first
in the mediumweight class.
Barry’s lamb was bred from his
own flock. Barry owns 11 of his own
sheep, and his family owns 50.
Although Barry has been
showing sheep for six years, this
was the first year he tried his hand
at West Lampeter. He has,
however, participated in the horse
show at the fair.
The reserve grand champion
went to Deb Martin, IS-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Melvin
Martin, Conestoga Rl.
Deb showed a six-month-old
Suffolk, which also took first in the
heavyweight class. The lamb was
purchased from Jim Stauffer, who
also took some first place awards
for his sheep.
Deb has shown at the fair for the
past four years, winning first place
in heavyweight four years ago. She
has 13 sheep of her own.
Judge for the show was Tom
Calvert, Berlin, who said, “I was
bom on a sheep farm.”
In the breeding classes, Tom was
looking for “correctness and
soundness from a body structure
standpoint.”
