A4O-Uncaster Farming, Saturday, August 30,19*6 Burdettes Take Third GINGER SECHRIST MYERS Adams C. Correspondent CHAMBERSBURG - It’s been said that good things come in three’s. Jim and Nina Burdett, Windy-Knoll-View Farm, Mer cersburg, couldn’t have agreed more with that saying as they picked up their third consecutive grand champion banner at the 1986 Franklin County Fair Open Holstein Show. Still fresh from winning the reserve grand champion title at the South-Central Championship Show, Burdett’s winning 3 year old, Windy Knoll View Justa Wonder, also picked up the trophies for the best udder of the show and the best animal owned and bred by exhibitor. Judge Dennis Patrick called her, “the easiest winner of the evening.” Wonder is no stranger to the winner’s circle at this county show, having won her respective class for the past three years. This VG -86 daughter of MD-Sunset View RA Wonder was the All-Pennsylvania Junior 2 Year Old in 1985. Her best record surpasses the 22,000 pound mark. To make this win even sweeter, Burdett notes that Wonder’s dam was the reserve grand champion of this show in 1980. The reserve champion trophy also went to another recent winner from the Carlisle show.

Scored VG-87, this Vincent-Vu Molly Chief’s best effort eclipses 18,000 pounds of 3.7 percent milk. Jim and Nina Burdett also swept both junior champion awards in the open show. Judge Patrick called their winning junior yearling, Windy Knoll View Ultimate Pala, more dairy and granted her an advantage of tracking more correctly as walks than does her stablemate, Windy Knoll View Pammy-Twin, the winning summer yearling. These heifers were junior champion and reserve junior champion respectively. In the youth show, Aldean Crider, Antrim-Spring Farm, Chambersburg, had a blue ribbon night gamering both the grand champion and reserve grand champion trophies with his homebred entries. His 3-year-old, Antrim-Spring Milestone Sylvia, also was named the best owned and bred animal of the youth show. In the heifer competition, Aldina Magic Gigi, an intermediate calf shown by Beverly Meyers, Chambersburg, continued her winning ways on the tanbark by being selected as the junior champion of the youth show. Reserve junior champion went to Stephanie Meyers, St. Thomas, with her winning junior yearling, ; «<llsc A BARGAIN IT'SA STIHI -: ' ** w I f Lists43 9 -95 g Reg. $4.99 OIL $3.99 Gal.
