Beef Show Champions Named At South Mountain Fair
In the Polled Hereford show
there was strong competition, with
Lewis Hilbert, Littlestown
collecting the rosette for the grand
champion female of the show with
his two-year-old cow, SF Miss
Rockette. Reserve grand cham
pion female went to Duane
Glessner, Waynesboro, with his
winning junior heifer calf, GBF
Sara. Dobrosky noted a close
placing in the championship,
stating that as the calf matures she
may well become the better
animal, but that she had to go with
the maturity of the two-year-old
cow at this time.
Glessbrook Farm, Waynesboro,
showed the grand champion bull, a
2-year-old named Care Bear.
Duane Glessner led out a son of
Care Bear, the winning junior bull
calf, to be selected for the reserve
slot.
Competition in the Santa Ger
trudis breed was limited to one
herd. Chapel Ridge Farm, Gene
and Linda Moose, Gettysburg,
exhibited all the entries in this
breed.
There was only one Simmental
entry, SSF Generation Gandhi, a
junior bull calf, exhibited by Tim
Spangler.
