York Top Southeast Livestock Judging Contest
judging beef, sheep and swine once
a week. Weaver, herself, prefers
judging either beef or sheep. "The
swine are the hardest because
they’re (judging criteria) con
stantly changing,” she says.
Thirteen-year-old Sonja Shearer
was high scorer overall in junior
competition. The daughter of
Terry and Gabriele Shearer, of
Abbottstown, Sonja owns one
heifer, two breeding sheep, five
market lambs and four pigs, which
she keeps on a nearby farm. In
addition to taking high overall
honors, she also topped the junior
swine judging contest and was a
member of the second-place junior
team.
Judging teams from across the
state will have the chance to test
their skills in state competition at
4-H Achievement Days to be held
at Penn State University on Aug. 4
to 6. The top state team will then go
on to the national contest held in
conjunction with the North
American International Livestock
Expo in Louisville, Kentucky.
Following are the complete
results of Tuesday’s competition.

SHENANDOAH INCINERATORS - A SANITARY
ALTERNATIVE FOR ON FARM DISPOSAL
The sanitary way to get rid
of animal carcasses is with
a Shenandoah incinerator.
It’s pollution controlled and
convenient to use. It’s also
extra efficient because
we’ve lined the burning
chambers, and in some
models even the af
terburning chambers, with
one and a quarter inches of
refractory cement. That
keeps the heat up and the
energy costs down.
