Derr Family Capture Westmoreland Co. Dairy Titles BY MARGIE FUSCO Cambria Co. Correspondent GREENSBURG - “I thought we just had average animals,” ad mitted Adam Derr Sr., modestly. He began to suspect his family was doing something right when Adam Jr. came in with his first trophies, for senior and grand champion, in the 4-H/FFA judging at the Westmoreland County Fair Holstein Show on Aug. 20. The Hawkeye Farms entries, from Scottdale, exhibited by daughter Dyanna went on to take reserve senior, reserve grand and junior champion honors in the Jersey show. And to cap off the family honors, daughter Rebecca came home with reserve senior and reserve grand champion in the 4-H Brown Swiss judging. To cap the week-long fair, Adam Jr., came home with the reserve grand champion showman and fitter. The Derr’s grand champion Holstein, Ro-Sha-P Candy Astro Charlene, is a five-year-old currently milking over 23,000 pounds of milk and 980 pounds of fat at a 4.6 percent test. She has been classified VG-88 and was sired by Paclamar Astro Top Command. Another Westmoreland County family had to make more space on the trophy shelf as well. Melissa Sulkosky brought home both junior and reserve junior champion Guernsey titles, and her sister Jennifer exhibited the senior and grand champion Guernsey as well. Jennifer also showed the senior and grand champion Brown Swiss in the 4-H category and t r ok reserve honors in the open category for senior and grand champion with the same cow. - '<' BALING TWINE H mßint PRODUCIS 9,000 Ft.
