well as sharing the premier
exhibitor award with Norman

Sharing the premier exhibitor
honors with Cain-View, Norman

Cain-View shows top Holstein at Delaware
Fairgrounds in Harrington, the
show’s field of 45 entries
represented a 30 percent drop in
participation compared to last
year’s show. Delaware Holstein
Association secretary-treasurer
Charmayne Busker attributed the
lower attendance to an unusually
wet spring that put most farmers
behind schedule with their field
work.
