Balboa herself was sold as young
animal to David Thomas in West
Virginia and became Reserve
Junior All-American as a senior
yearling. So Dowler repurchased
an interest in Balboa prior to last
year’s state show. Later Edward
Doeberiner at Queens-Manor
Farms purchased an interest to
now give Balboa three owners.
Reserve senior and reserve
grand champion went to the first
place age cow owned by Obie
Snyder at Singing Brook Farms.
Singing Brook Pete Audie was also
the best animal bred and owned by
an exhibitor and had been the first
place two year old at the 1982 state
show in Meadville. Audie has milk
records up to 26,890 pounds of milk,
4.2 percent test and 1,092 of fat.
During the show Bill Nichol,
Pennsylvania Holstein
Association’s executive secretary,
Obie Snyder exhibited Singing Brook Pete Audie, which
was selected best animal bred and owned by exhibitor.
The 1986 PA State Holstein Show
introduced Snyder as the chairman
of the board of trustees at Penn
State University. Snyder told the
group at ringside that it was a
privilege to have the state show in
the new ag arena here. “Thank you
for your support,” Snyder said.
“You are the people who made it
possible. It’s quite amazing that
more than 5,000 people had a hand
in building this ag arena and
barns. We at Penn State are simply
the fortunate ones to have it here,”
he said.
The premier breeder of the 248
head show was Gordon Wood. The
premier exhibitor was Queens-
Manor. Judge John Morris of
Frederick, Maryland, called this
show an extremely good one in an
excellent arena. “The quality runs
deep in the classes,” he said.
One of the highlights of the show
was the naming of the 1986
Keystone Futurity winner. Entries

Enhancer Anna-ET, Brooks Rynd; champion C. Philipail Warden Sterling, C.E. Hubbard
and State Dairy Princess Beth Heald.
in this class are started three years
in advance when the animals are
calves. They are reentered each
year with the owners contributing
to a futurity fund. This year’s fund
was in excess of $l,OOO. And the
winner received over $4OO for the
effort. The winner was Pennwood
Marvation Tiny owned by Harvey
W. Stoltzfus. Second place went to
Windy Knoll View Justa Wonder
owned by James R. & Nina Bur
dette. Third place went to Lon
dondale Dimension Don owned by
James London.
Nichol encouraged dairymen to
get their calves entered now for the
1989 show. Any heifer calve that
will show as a three year old in 1989
is eligible. Entries will be accepted
by the Pennsylvania Holstein
Association until September 31,
1986. For more information,

In the bull classes Reu-Hel
Farms Valiant Scooter owned by
Constance E. Troutman placed
first in the senior yearling class
and was named grand champion
bull. Judge Morns noted the depth
of heart and ribs in the champion.
Scooter’s dam is Very Good 87 and
has records up to 26,224 pounds of
milk, 4.2 percent test and 1,108 fat.
The next four generations of dams
are Very Good and have 4 percent
test.
The reserve champion bull was
the senior calf Sequa Slim USA
owned by Queens-Manor Holsteins
and Sequa Farms. His sire is
Shanghigh Brandsons Slim and his
dam is Sequa Gonzellies Racheal.
The junior champion female of
the show was the senior yearling
heifer Alienor Temptation Opal
owned by Alienor Holstein Farms.
And the reserve junior champion
female was the senior heifer calf
Wendy Knoll View Lota Quality
owned by J. & N. Burdette and J.
Rappaport.
This year’s show also finalized
the all Pennsylvania selections and
the last event of the show was a
parade and assembly in the ag
arena of all of these animals. The
show ring got a little crowded. But
as someone at ringside com
mented, “this is the best class of
the day.”
Ken Raney, director of member
service, was the person in charge
of the show. The Penn State
Student Dairy Science Club helped
with the food stands and barn and
ring chores. A list of the placings
