Love of Cows

dairy setup, only heifers and dry
cows are housed there. Milking
animals are farmed out to
neighboring dairies.
Patty remembers watching her
older brother show cows when her
father had a Holstein dairy.
Because of the size of the
Holsteins, her father told her, “I’ll
get you a nice little Jersey.” Since
then, Jerseys became common at
Clearview Farm. Although Beth
started her 4-H career with
Guernseys to keep from competing
with her sister, she also switched
to Jerseys after Patty was out of 4-
H. “I just liked the Jerseys a little
better,” she states.
Patty is particularly proud of her
typey homebred animals. “I like to
see a Jersey that looks like a
Jersey,” she says. Because her
interests are to extensively show
her animals, Patty breeds mainly
tor type. “It doesn’t pay me to
breed for production,” Patty

states. “It wouldn’t help me at the
shows, which is what I like to do.”
Animals are bred for refinement, a
dished face and a long neck. She
wants them to be clean boned and
dairy looking. The sires Patty is
currently using on her winners
include: Advancer Sleeping
Milestone, Golden Faithful, Golden
Master, and Milestone Babes
Master.
“We like a sharper looking cow,”
Beth says. These two sisters know
what they are talking about.
Although this was the first year for
the premier breeder honors, they
have been in the top three at the
Farm Show for the past several
years. In 1981 a Clearview cow took
the Reserve Grand Championship
at the Farm Show, and this past
year saw several Clearview grand
champions at the local fairs. The
Farm Show remains as one of the
Jenkins’ favorite shows because of
the competition.

first out of two,” Patty says with a
smile.
One of Beth’s animals was also
shown at the national show in
Kentucky this past year. The girls
are proud of the fact that she stood
in the top half of the large classes.
Patty’s favorite animal is her
nine-year-old cow, Clearview
Criterion Holly. Recently raised to
a “very-good” - 87, on her 1984
appraisal, Holly is the foundation
for five of the animals in the
Jenkins string.
“I like what I’m getting,” Patty
says of her breeding philosophy.
“Buyers are pleased. “I want to
keep breeding my own, it’s more
rewarding that way.”
Patty plans to build up her herd
and one day go into dairying and
showing on her own. She credits
her parents for all their support
and help. “If it wasn’t for them, we
couldn’t do it,” she says of her and
her sister’s efforts.
From experience Patty has
developed several practices that
have helped her. Calves are fed
milk for three months. “You get a
stronger animal,’’ she states. At
two weeks of age, calves are also
fed grain and a high quality
alfalfa. Before shows, Patty feeds
calf manna to her animals. “It
tends to help their overall ap
pearance,’’ she continues. Animals
should be on the thin side to show
better, but Patty says that she is
often too good to them and her
animals are often too heavy. Patty
is also an avid observer of the
winning animals at all the fairs
and shows that she attends.

Consider Special
Clothing Needs
NEWARK, Del. Like everyone
else, the elderly and handicapped
feel their best when they’re well
dressed. But for them, clothing
needs to be more than attractive. It
should also be comfortable, easy to
put on and take off, and practical
to care for, says University of
Delaware Extension Home
Economist Roxane Whittaker.
People whose movements are
restricted need clothing with
generous openings, and easy-to
use fasteners. Front fasteners are
easier to reach. Where dexterity is
a problem, a large, decorative loop
can be attached to a zipper pull.
Or, large, flat buttons can be sewn
with a thread shank so they stand
away from the fabric. Woven nylon
strips that adhere when pressed
together are also useful.
Comfort features to look for
include semi-fitted waistlines or
gently elasticized waists. Avoid
high, close-fitting necklines and
tight sleeves. If a person uses
crutches, choose sleeves that are
cut high in the underarm.
For women, wrap-around shps
and skirts provide extra comfort
and convenience. Pockets are
handv for carrying tissues, coins.

and other necessities,
Skirts should be full but not drag
on the floor while a person is
seated or using crutches. A con
venient feature in women’s pants
is a side zipper that opens all the
way down the leg.
Lined pants prevent wear if
braces are used. Shorter trouser
lengths will not catch under
crutches.
Rough textures and heavy
fabrics are often annoying to older
people and can irritate dry skin.
Choose soft, non-irritating and non
binding fabrics.
Look for adequate seam
allowances and small, even stit
ches. Consider reinforcing areas of
strain.
For washable garments, check
for easy-care characteristics. Look
for wrinkle-resistance and no-iron
features.
It’s sometimes difficult to find
the styles, sizes, and convenience
features the elderly and han
dicapped need. If the right clothing
isn’t available in ready-to-wear,
perhaps a home sewer can adjust a
garment’s features to suit an in
dividual’s needs. •
