BY JACK HUBLEY
GOSHEN Atglen’s Donna
MacCauley led the way to the
grand championship at the Chester
County 4-H Market Lamb Show on
Monday night at the Goshen
Fairgrounds. And two days later
her homegrown 113-pound Suffolk
commanded the top bid in what
turned out to be the most suc
cessful Chester County 4-H Market
Lamb Sale in the event’s four-year
history.
With Brandywine Savings and
Betsy Colket's reserve champion Suffolk went to Southeast
National Bank's Atglen office. Pictured with Betsy is
Southeast’s assistant vice president, Barbara Cloud.

After purchasing their lambs,
both Creutzburg and Southeastern
donated the animals back to the 4-
H’ers for resale.
Both champions were then
bought by C. Aquilante of Berwin,
who paid 85 cents for the grand
champion and 95 cents for the
reserve lamb. By the close of the
sale, Mr. Aquilante had purchased
12 lambs, more than enough to
qualify the Berwin meat retailer as
the sale’s most active buyer.
Aquilante also bought the
champion of the lightweight class,
owned by Jim Hawthorne. The son
of Coatesville residents Byron add
Mary Hawthorne, Jim’s 91-pound
Dorset sold for $l.lO.
Hawthorne also showed the
reserve champion lightweight, a
91-pound Dorset that went for
$1.05.
Another MacCauley Suffolk
captured the reserve cham
pionship in the middleweight class.
Nancy MacCauley’s 107-pound
entry went to Ration Maker East
for $1.25. Nancy and Donna are the
daughters of Atglen Suffolk
breeders Bill and Joan MacCauley.
A hefty 132-pound Hampshire
owned by Bunny Hicks, daughter

champion heavyweight. Hicks’
entry went to E. Fairbairn Con

Other buyers taking home 4-H

of Kimberton and Ken Smoker of
Walter M. Dunlap and Sons.
