B4—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, August 11,1984
Laslie family
(Continued from Pageß2)
Both girls are junior members of
the Holstein Association.
Jason, the only boy, has recently
made his first investment in the
farm. His uncle, David, sold him a
registered Holstein calf for $2.00 to
make the transaction complete.
Being young yet he tags along with
the men learning the techniques of
his possible future - farming.
Last but not least, you’ll find
petite Samantha trying her best to
keep up with the overwhelming
pace of the rest. Just so she
wouldn’t be left out, she recently
invested her very own money with
her uncle in a Holstein calf - also
giving him the same as her
brother, $2.00 for the purchase!!
Heather poses with a pen of her York and Duroc breeding
hogs being exhibited at the Butler Farm Show.
The eyes of this little girl sparkle
with the anticipation of someday
being the one in the spotlight of
honors.
Dad and mom were also 4-H’ers
in their childhood. Lloyd carried
dairy, sheep and farm crops while
Marlene took cooking, sewing,
flowers and entomology. Still in
volved with 4-H functions at local
and county levels they are leaders
of the Connoquenessing 4-H Club.
Lloyd was an active FFA’er in
his time, too. Carrying 11 projects,
he was a gold medal winner at
state level two years on farm
account books in 1966-67. Upon
graduation he served in the Peace
Corps for 2 years in Malaysia,
teaching tractor maintenance and
planting corn. During one month
some 1500 acres of com were hand
planted with very little use of
equipment.
Returning to the home farm, his
major role in the operation is in
charge of the crops. Besides the
acreage at home, they rent an
additional 150 acres to secure
enough feed for the livestock.
Twenty sows of Duroc breeding
yield a 200 pigs a year for finishing.
Quite proud of his own Duroc boar
named “Super Wow” raised to be
the service sire of his hog
operation has added to his ac
complishments.
Showing is sort of a family hobby
and gives them something that
they all can do together.
Exhibiting at local shows such as
the Big Butler Fair, Butler Farm
Show and Lawrence County Fair
has led them to stronger com
petition at the Pa. Farm Show for 8
years with sheep and pigs and, for
the first time last year, at the
Keystone International Livestock
Exposition. They’re looking for
ward to returning again this year
