Erica McClellan might be a
spritely slip of a cowgirl, but she’s
always a heavyweight in beef
competition.
That fact was reaffirmed at the
Keystone International Livestock
Expo last Saturday when the 12-
year-old daughter of Dr. Michael
McClellan and Mr. and Mrs. Brian
Jordan took grand champion
honors in the junior Angus show.
Brian and Judith Jordan are the
owners of Fox Hill Farm, Kennett
Square.
Stealing the show is nothing new
for Erica’s heifer, Lady Evelyn,
who won her class at this year’s
National Junior Angus Show. An
Independence daughter, the heifer
was purchased at the Cow Power
Sale in Ghent, New York last year.
Overall, the Fox Hill family had
a banner day, with Erica’s
brother, Matthew, taking a first-in
class ribbon with his heifer,
Princess, and their brother, Chris
Jordan, taking bred-and-owned
honors with his heifer named
Babe.
At reserve in the Angus show
was a Pine Drive Big Sky daughter
owned by Nancy Secrest, 19,
daughter of James and Carol
Secrest of Caldwell, Ohio. The
female was also the bred-and
owned champion at the Ohio Angus
Preview Show.
Charolais
For his champion in the
Charolais show, judge Ron Bolze of
Ohio State University selected a
February heifer shown by Amy
Sherman of Abbottstown. “I like it
when they pick the younger ones,”
beamed the daughter of Charles
and Karol Sherman. Her heifer
named Gina is a Silver Creek
Summit daughter that was reserve

champion at the York Fair last
month.
The reserve Charolais heifer was
shown by Kirk Fisher, son of Steve
and Margie Fisher of Oley. His
heifer was homebred and sired by
Silver Creek High Rise, last year’s
national champion bull. Fisher’s
heifer was champion at the
Eastern National Livestock Show
in Maryland last week.
The Mullinix brothers from
Woodbine, New Jersey took both
champion and reserve honors in
this show. In his Keystone debut,
Chris, 11, showed the champion, a
GK Transtar daughter out of one of
the 4-H’ers own cows. Before
winning at KILE, the heifer was
also named champion at the

Simmental
An April heifer named Vickie
went all the way to the top for Sally
Messick of Middletown in the
Simmental show. The heifer was
sired by Signal and is out of an
Extra Stretch cow. The daughter
of Mylin and Doris Messick, Sally
showed her heifer at last year’s
Farm Show, where she placed first
in her class.
