KUTZTOWN The top spot of
the Kutztown Fair Holstein show
was taken by the single entry of
Scott Troutman, Rl, Myerstown as
he bested over 150 entries.
Troutman exhibited his six-year
old, Y-Brookside Big Valley, a
"VG-88” daughter of Peach View
Big Valley.
“I feel the aged cow deserves
this championship,” Judge David
Hill, Emmetsburg, Md., stated.
‘She has worn a little bit longer
than this two-year-old.” The judge,
a VPI graduate, also stated that
she was “the most correct.”
The Grand Champion boasts
records over 23,000 pounds milk
and 900 pounds fat. The 18-year-old
Troutman had purchased his
champion as a yearling and the
pair are veterans of many shows.
This was his first championship in
breed competition, however, and
he bested the entries of his fiance,
Constance Ohlinger and her sister,
Cathleen, of Reu-Hel Farms, Rl,
Mohrsville.
The Ohlinger sisters dominated
the rest of the Holstein competition
as they took the three other
champonship rosettes. Reserve
Grand Champion went to Con
stance Ohlinger with her Senior
Two Year Old, Reu-Hel Farms
Sexy Smurfette, a “VG-85”
daughter of Ocean View Sexation.
Although her first record is
projected over 18,800 milk and 600
fat, “Smurfette” needed more
maturity to go over the champion
according to the judge.
Junior Champion went to
Cathleen Ohlinger and her in
termediate daughter of Leadfield
Columbus-ET. Constance Ohlinger
again took the reserve spot with
her senior yearling, an S-W-D
Valiant daughter.

winner”, according to the judge,
and Scott Troutman took this
reserve spot. Junior fitting honors
went to Kirk Sattazahn again and
Dean Wagner, Rl, Oley. The
winners received halters spon

also took complimentary pictures
of any 4-H’er and his animal at
their request. Trophies were also
sponsored by the Lester W. Seidel
Memonal fund and went to all the
champion fitters and showmen.
The colored breed show began on
Thursday, August 17th, with the
Shorthorn animals of Sam
Voder, Shoemakersville.

competition followed with two first
time winners of the championship
rosettes. Grand champion honors
in the Aryshire breed went to the
senior two year old entry of James
Blatt, Rl, Robesonia. The
homebred champion is a daughter
of Oak Ridge Super Star. “The
judge liked the thinner animals,”
14 year old, Blatt stated. His
family milks Holsteins and Ayr
shires on their Rl, Robesonia dairy
farm.

KUTZTOWN - The Goat show
at the recent Kutztown Fair
featured a veteran 4-Her and goat
breeder. Debbie Price,
Douglassville, topped all ex
hibitors with her champion Nubian
aged doe, Cleopatra, which was
crowned Best Doe in Show.
The 19-year-old, Berks County
Dairy Princess is an active 4-Her.
“I like 4-H,” she states and adds
that she is now the leader for the
Berks County Goat Club. She has
been breeding and showing goats
for over five years and in addition
to breeding her own winners, the
Reserve Champion Alpine who
also was second to the Best doe in
the show was bred by Price. She is
owned and shown by Kent Fisher.
Debbie is currently attending
Penn State and majoring in Dairy
Science. She owns 13 goats and
three Guernsey cows. Seeking
good conformation in her animals
and showing them to their best ad
vantage also helped Debbie as she
was also named Champion
Showman and Reserve Champion
Fitter of the goat showing and fit
ting competitions.
The show was judged by Ricky
Stonebech, Oxford, who selected
the winning Best doe in Show on
her “general appearance” and
“advantage in mammary
system.”
