Angus cattle, in all sizes, are the center of attention at the Dave Sprenkle 111 farm at Spring Grove R 4. Crops grown on the 16ft-acre general farm are alfalfa, mixed hay, corn, wheat and barley. Bulk of the crop production goes into feed rations, with extra yields over needs for the cattle sold on the open market. Forages are utilized both as sealed-unit haylage and round-bale dried hay. “Big bale” handling equipment on display in fields near the feedlot should be of special interest to visitors. The Sprenkle’s breeding herd consists of 38 brood Angus cows, 15 heifers and a half-dozen calves. Steers of various sizes are being grown and finished in the feedlot area. An afternoon of “horsing around” is planned at Woodberry Farms, an equestrian art teaching center, with more than two dozen horses. Owners of the York RIO farm are Mr. and Mrs. Paul Gilbert, while their daughter and son-in-law, Chris and Paul Hurlbert, have operated the riding instruction school for seven years. '1( Equestrian instruction specializes in hunter and hunter seat equitation, with classes ranging in skill from very young beginners, through advanced juniors using both ponies and horses, and up to lessons for adults in both pleasure and competitive riding. Chris Hurlbert, in charge of the equestrian program, has planned an afternoon of continuing demonstrations, with her students practicing their skills in various phases of competition hor semanship. Show preparations will focus on clipping, braiding, and the measuring of horses, a “finished” display, with animals clipped and braided, and a rider dressed in the full competition attire, and riders actually performing the various functions that are part of ring competition. All farms taking part in the Farm-City tour will be open to the public from 1 through 4 p.m. There is no set order in which farms must be seen; tour participants travel in their own vehicles and stop at their leisure, and may view as few or as many of the individual farms as they choose.
