MANHEIM “This is the best
lamb I’ve seen all summer,” was
judge Ken Brubaker’s summation
as he dubbed Lisa Martin’s 125-
pound Hampshire-cross the grand
champion of the Manheim Com
munity Fair’s market lamb show.
The Garden Spot High School
junior was off to a fast start on
Thursday night after placing first
in the senior showmanship com
petition staged at the beginning of
the show.
The daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Aaron Martin of New Holland,
Martin demonstrated her faith in
the black lamb from the beginning,
by making it the high seller at
Manheim’s Supreme Club Lamb
Sale in April. And the lamb, a half
brother to last year’s Farm Show
grand champion, didn’t let her
down. Named grand champion
earlier this year at the
Elizabethtown Fair, the fancy
lamb was bred by Bill Wade of
Virginia.
With a healthy turnout of 98
lambs, this year’s show featured
three breeding sheep classes, and
a market lamb show split into two
divisions: those lambs continuing
on to other shows, and those to be
sold at Manheim’s livestock sale
on Friday night.

Ellen Lewis' purebred Hampshire not only took top honors
in the sale lamb division, but was also named reserve grand
champion of the overall show.
After giving the nod to Martin’s
lamb as champion in the former
division, Brubaker went to Ellen
Lewis’ purebred Hampshire for his
champion in the sale division, as
well as reserve grand champion of
the overall show.
The Hempfield sophomore’s
winner was a homegrown 115-
pound ewe sired by a ram owned
by Clyde Brubaker of Lancaster.
The daughter of Mr.and Mrs.
George Lewis made her mark at
the show with two other entries as
well, registering a second-place
win in Hampshire breeding sheep
competition, and winning her class
in the lightweight market lamb
division.
Reserve champion honors in
market lambs not to be sold went
to Elizabethtown’s Tim Engle,
exhibiting a homegrown 4-H
project lamb co-owned by himself
and brother Curt. The purebred
