MANHEIM After an absence
of a couple of years, l.an-I>ebco
cows of Harold Witmer were back
in the winner’s circle at the
Manheim Fair’s dairy show on
Thursday.
Three years ago, Witmer swept
top honors. A couple of years ago
the dairy tent was ripped apart by
a storm and the show was can
celed. And last year, the Kulp
brothers had the top honors.
But this year, the Witmer cows
returned with son, D. I-amar.,
doing the showing honors and dad
staying home to handle the rigid
,1X milking schedule.
Grand champion was a three
\ ear-old, Lan-Lebo (the farm sets
on the boundary of the two coun
ties) Astro King Moonlite, who in
her first lactation had nearly 19,000
lbs. Her dam was the reserve
champ three years ago.
The reserve champion was an
aged cow Kit Builder
Odarby, who milked over 20,000 as
a four-year-old. Kit Builder, whose
semen has now been used up, is the
foundation sire of the Witmer herd.
Witmer also had the junior
champion.
