his champion pair of market
swine. The grand champion swine
went to the entry of*Steve Rohr

Fourteen-year-old Karen
Stutzman, Rl, Kutztown,
dominated the sheep show at the
Reading Fair. Karen exhibited the
grand and reserve grand cham
pion market lambs. She also
captured the ribbons for the grand
champion pen of lambs.
Demonstrating that she really
knew what she was doing, Karen
also took the grand champion
showman honors in the sheep
fitting and showing competition.
She was also named reserve
champion fitter.
Karen has been in the 4-H sheep
club for three years and says this is
the first year that she has done this
well. “I walk them every day,” she
says about her two winners, which
are the only sheep she has. “It
gives them muscle,” she adds.
The Stutzman sheep were
featured at the annual Berks
County 4-fJ.Market Lamb Sale held
the final day of the fair, Saturday,
Sept. 29th. The 120-pound cham
pion brought $6.10 per pound on the
bid from Weaver’s Farm Market,
Sinking Spring. The reserve
champion sold for $3.45 per pound
to the Crystal Springs Restaurant,
Sinking Spring.
“I’m gonna miss them,” Karen
commented after the sale. But the
annual sale, which provides the 4-
H’ers with money for their year
long efforts, gave Karen incentive
for next year. “Besides,” she adds,
“I was thinking of buying a
computer.”
The market lamb sale included
49 head of the 4-H project sheep.
Although the price for the grand
champion was down from the $7.50
that the champion brought last
year, the sale average for this year
was $.15 higher than 1983 at $1.29
per pound.
“The kids were quite pleased,”
commented the sale clerk. Also,
according to the clerk, the buyers
