from surrounding states were
overpowered by the “home team”
as a Pennsylvania steer won top
honors in KILE’s Junior steer
show on Sunday, and went on to be
named grand champion over both

Pennsylvania steers were also
named to first-place in two-thirds
of the open and junior classes.
Sally Messick flashed an ear-to

show challengers strong enough to
unseat her for grand champion
honors.

The grand champion steer in open competition was shown
by Ellen Bergfeld, Sum mitville, Ohio.
