BY JACK HUBLEY
TIMONIUM, Md. - By the
conclusion of the Eastern National
Livestock Show’s Polled Hereford
Show on Thursday evening, it was
apparent that the British had
fought for possession of the wrong
Falklands.
Descending on the Fairgrounds’
Cow Palace from Schellsburg, Pa.,
was a stampede of seven heifers
exhibited by Falklands Farm that
handily trampled the competition.
In addition to taking both grand
and reserve grand champion
female honors, Falklands went
home with the senior champion,
junior champion and calf cham
pion awards. Added to this list
were senior get-of-sire, junior get
of-sire, best six head, and premier
exhibitor.
For his grand champion female,
judge Henry Bergfeld of Sum
mitville, Ohio, selected FLF MPH
Lady Hotline 3044, owned by
Falklands Farm and Mohican
Polled Herefords. Exhibited by
Paul Slayton, the Mar.,‘B3 heifer is
a PRL93OK Hotline 347 N daughter.
At the reserve spot, judge
Bergfeld placed another Hotline
daughter, FLF BBH Lady Hotline
3025. This was the heifer that
brought a top bid of $lOO,OOO from
Dr. Lester Martin of Cincinnati, at
Falklands’ production sale last
month. Falklands retains showing
rights on the fancy female until
Jan., 1985.
But their winning momentum
failed to carry the Falklands en
tries over a sky-high wall of bulls
exhibited by Ace Polled Herefords
of Millbrook, N.Y. Winning Ace
bulls were named grand and
reserve grand champions, senior
Champion, calf and reserve calf
champions.
Ace’s Montie Soules showed the
Reserve Champion Hereford- Phil
Weaver
Champion Simmental
Stebbins, Ohio
Reserve Champion
John Callebs, Kent.
Junior Heifer competition began
with the Angus Show, and judge
Jimmy Linthicum of Okla. found
what he was looking for in Ohio.
Champion Angus heifer was PVF

grand champion bull, named

reserve position was Ace’s
Sept.,‘B3 bull calf named Timber
