A3B-Lancasttr Farming, Saturday, March 23,1985 Pa. Cattlemen (Continued from Page Al) steers and dairy cattle. After graduating from Penn State in 1968 with a degree in Animal Science, Heffner spent three years at the State University of New York in charge of the University’s meat animals. He then moved to Gettysburg where he managed commercial beef operations until starting his own herd in 1975. During the mid to late 1970’s the cattleman also worked as a field man in the fertilizer and ag chemical business before plunging full-time into the beef business in 1979. Heffner also visited Australia in 1971 in an effort to leam more about Down Under beef cattle operations. An energetic PCA member, Heffner served as president in 1983 and ‘B4, and is currently vice president of the Pennsylvania Beef Council, the promotion arm of the Pa. Cattlemen’s Association. He is also a member of the Adams County Beef Club, the Penn State Alumni Club and is active in National Cattlemen’s Association activities. Fred Frey of Quarryville, Lancaster County, took home the association’s first annual Seed stock Producer Award. Frey owns a 300-head commercial herd of Angus and Angus-Chianina cross cows. “When we need to get something done, Fred’s right there to do it,” said the association’s Harry Stambaugh during his introduction of the Quarryville cattleman. Receiving the association’s first Beef Industry Award was Moyer Packing of Souderton. The east coast’s largest packer, Moyer processes 1,500 cattle a day. “Moyer Packing has been very supportive of the beef promotion program,” said Pennsylvania Beef Council treasurer Robert Coleman, who pointed out that the packing firm voluntarily adds 9 cents per head to the beef checkoff program. Two-thirds of this amount goes to the Pa. Beef Council, with the remaining three cents going to the National Livestock and Meat Board. Ac cepting the firm’s award was David Sorosky. Chosen from the eight finalists to represent the beef industry as the 1985 Pennsylvania' Cattlemen’s Queen was Melanie Hemminger, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Hemminger of Somerset. A junior at Penn State majoring in animal production, Miss Hemminger is active in the University’s Block and Bridle Club and was a member of the 1984 Meats Judging Team. The past two summers have found her on the show circuit with beef cattle owned by Pennsylvania Charolais and Sin irno rtal bre®^? p s Fred Frey HELP! - HELP!
