Even after aging and trimming,
the total 706 pounds of retail cuts
far exceeded the original
estimated yield. With the five
winning packages of meat readied
for the winners, and a total of 17
pounds of specially-selected
porterhouse steaks on their way to
the Accomac Inn, 189 pounds of
sirloins, T-bones, round roasts,
hamburger and miscellaneous
specialty meats remained.
With the unexpected bonus, the
beef club advisors in charge
decided to put together a package
of steaks for the holder of an
eleventh ticket than had been
drawn as an alternate, in case one

“H.L. Mann” was the name on
that alternative ticket. Upon
checking, the alternate was
discovered to be none other than
Horace L. Mann, manager of the
Farm Show, where this whole
unparralled event had begun
Although a package oi meai
offered to the Glatfelter’s, Art and
his wife Lee refused.
“Sell it,” they suggested.
So, the remaining beef was held
for the late March annual county 4-
H auction, with the benefits used
for the 4-H Center. Again, the
support of the media boosted in
terest in the ongoing saga of the
famed steer, and a large crowd,
television cameras included,
turned out for the benefit.
Each of the several-pound steaks
brought bids of over $3O, with the
top selling fot $3B.

One of the winning bidders for a
steak was Art Glatfelter.
“Sometimes we hear the com
plaint that the champion winner
always gets all the benefit from
these sales,” reflects county agent
Dobrosky. “This case is different.
The ripples from J.D.’s win have
spread through the community,
and the good this has done will
continue for a long time.”
When the final tally of figures
was in, J.D. had generated $38,356
for the youth of York County.
Less than half of that total,
$15,060, went to Annette Walker.
She promptly banked every cent,
then later purchased a new pickup
truck for her use on the Donald
Walter’s family beef farm at
Airville. Now employed part-time
by the Bon-Ton Department stores
