BY JACK HUBLEY
HARRISBURG - After 10 years
of Farm Show beef competition,
the entire Eisenhour family was
quite pleased when daughter

Angus heifer, Wanda...which is
short for Gamey Annabelle.

Eisenhour of Wellsville (York

Show was Chicletts, better known
as BV Elba 335, shown by Cathy
Shive of Seven Valleys (York Co.)
A Premier Independence
daughter, Chicletts was out of BV
Elba 333, one of the family’s cows.
The (laughter of Gordon and
Dianna Shive, Cathy also took
champion bred-and-owned honors
with her heifer. The Shives ac
counted for the reserve bred-and
owned title, as well, with BV Elba
416, a Pine Drive daughter bom
April, 1984.
Charolais
The Junior Charolais Show
belonged to the Clutter sisters,
daughters of Earl and Carolyn
Clutter of Prosperity (Washington
Co.) In the champion spot was
Stonedells Exodus, an Exodus
daughter shown by 14-year-old
Carla.
Although Drillmasters Heidi,
shown by Crystal Clutter, had
taken grand champion honors in
the Open Show the day before,
judge Dan Eversole of East
Lansing, Michigan, demoted her to
reserve in the junior competition.
Heidi took champion honors in the
bred-and-owned division, and the
Clutters copped the reserve bred
and-owned title as well with 4C

heifer was named champion of the
bred-and-owned division as well.

heifer placed only seventh in her
class in the Open Show, KMR
Whispering Tam went all the way
to the reserve champion spot in
junior competition.
A JVF Samuel daughter,
“Whispy” took bred-and-owned
reserve honors, as well. The
daughter of Richard and Nancy

State University, where she is
majoring in Animal Science.

steer victory later in the day by
showing the Junior Breeding Beef
Show’s champion Simmental. The
heifer, Miss Signal T 3, was named
reserve calf champion in Open

signal daughter, Messick’s win

the bred-and-owned division.
