uavid Parkinson, area
representative from the American
Jersey Cattle Club. He said that a
Pennsylvania cow from the
Vantage Farm herd of Don Koontz
recently topped the Wisconsin sale
and added that there are currently
many Pennsylvania bulls being
sampled in A.I.
“Pennsylvania was number one
in registrations in 1983, above any
other state in the nation,”
Parkinson told breeders.
After the directors meeting,
farm tours included Ralaine
Jerseys, Everett; Stan-El Jerseys,
Bedford; and Frederick Farm,
Bedford.
Ralaine Jerseys is owned and
operated by Kay and Elaine
Sollenberger and their children,
Leon and Lori. Leon, and Lori
organized the annual meeting and
calf sale and are very active in the
breed and in the showring. The
Sollenberger farm numbers 70
milking cows that are fed a total
mix ration of haylage, com silage,
and grain. The current herd
average is over 11,000 pounds with
574 pounds fat. One of the
Sollenberger’s favorites, a B.S.
Noble Superb daughter just milked
85 pounds for the tester with a 4.5%
test. She was recently
superovulated and flushed and the
family is looking forward to two
embryos by Top Brass.
Stan-El Jerseys is operated by
Stanley Koontz and his son,

thing is good udders, good legs,
you’ve got type,” Stanley Koontz
said. The farm features a modem
manure storage facility.
The final stop was at the farm of
Vance Frederick and his family.
Family owned and operated,
Frederick Farm features over 300
Jerseys milking and over 500 acres
farmed. An impressive, drive
through feeding barn with
freestalls houses the 300 milking
animals. Breeding philosophy is
different at Frederick Farm and
island bulls and bloodlines are
utilized to keep with true Jersey
type and high Jersey test. The
Fredericks held a reduction sale
last year and are planning a repeat
sale in 1985 to let people realize
how well island breeding can do in
other herds. They are also plan

A highlight at the awards
banquet was the presentation of
the Distinquished Service award to
Dutch Lusk. Lusk could not be
present for the ceremony, being in
the hospital. A native of
Washington County, Lusk was
praised for his support of 4-H and
FFA and his service to the breed.
“He couldn’t get the Jersey breed
out of his blood," Clyde Robison
stated when he presented the
award to Robert Lusk, the oldest
son.
