HARRISBURG - A strong
statewide field of 50 Angus
exhibitors turned out for the Farm
Show’s largest breeding cattle
show, and with the help of a heifer
calf named Krueger’s Miss Black
Bird, Greg Krueger of Coatesville
(Chester Co.) came out on top. The
winning female was a Foolish
Pride daughter out of Parkers Ms
Black Bird.
A sister to Madonna, the female
named calf champion at the
national show in Denver little more
than a week ago, Black Bird was
herself named calf champion at
the Keystone International in
November. She is co-owned by
Warren Bippert of Alden, NY.
Judge Phil Trowbridge of Ghent,
NY, went to his junior champion,
R&J Lucy, for reserve grand
Angus honors. “I had pretty good
expectations that she’d be on top
somewhere,” smiled Bill Holloway
of GH2 Angus Associates, owner of
the R&J Austin daughter.
It was a successful day for GH2
owners Bill Holloway and Joe
Calderazzo. With their four en
tries, they accounted for the in
termediate, reserve intermediate
and junior champion titles, in
addition to overall reserve honors.
For their accomplishments, GH2
received the premier exhibitor
award.
In Angus bull competition, a New
Yorker son shown by Wilson Angus
and Genetics Unlimited, West
Grove, (Chester Co.) took top
honors. This was the first show for
the March bull calf, also named
junior calf champion.
At reserve was Kruegers Special
K, another Foolish Pride son, and a
full brother to the grand champion
heifer.
Polled Hereford
A showring rookie named SBF
Royal Red Gypsy took top honors
in the Polled Hereford heifer show.
“She’s never been shown in her
lifetime,” remarked Gypsy’s
owner, Frank Darcy of Spring
Bottom Farm, Fairfield (Adams
Co.) Darcy said this was both the
first and last show for the BT
Nomad daughter, who would be
returned to the Spring Bottom herd
as a brood cow. “We’d rather have
the babies than the ribbons.” he
pointed out. This female is a half
sister to Royal Gypsy, the 1985
national champion that was also
named grand champion as a calf at
the 1984 Farm Show.
At reserve was DS Miss King Pin
429, a Kingpin daughter owned by
Stockdale Hereford Farm of
Dayton (Armstrong Co.)
Stockdale came back to take top
honors in the Polled Hereford bull
show.
At reserve was PPH Challenger,
shown by Richard Price of
Harrisonville (Fulton Co.) A
Discovery son, the calf also took
reserve calf champion honors at
the Keystone International two
months ago.
“I was hoping to get calf
champion,” remarked Price, “but
reserve grand was icing on the
cake.” Price noted that he had
bought the calf, along with his
mother, from the late Herman
Purdy when the calf was only a few
days old.
Limousin
The 1985 Limousin show will
undoubtedly remain a fond
memory for Tami and Jenny Rose
of Cochranton (Crawford Co.) for
many years to come. Not only did
the daughters of Bob and Sondra
Rose have the' opportunity to
participate in Farm Show’s first
Limousin event, but they stole the
show by taking champion and
reserve female honors.
In the champion spot was Miss
Cool Dawn, a BLR Landmark
daughter shown by Tami, 16. This
Mar., 1984 heifer also took top
honors at the Northwest Keystone
