YORK SPRINGS - The James
Boyer family, RD 1, East Berlin
had a very good day, Monday, Nov.
3, at the 2nd Annual Adams County
4-H Beef Show and Sale. Each of
the three Boyer children nabbed
special honors. Jason, 16, was the
champion senior showman and
fitter; Jamie, 15, showed the grand
champion of* the show; and
Janelle, 13, was champion in
termediate showman and fitter
and also lead out the reserve
champion lightweight steer.
Jamie stated that he was sur

vitamin E injections state the
intramuscular (IM) injection
route. Reports are revealing,
however, that (IM) injections have
been associated with lameness
and/or partial paralysis of the hind
leg for several days following
treatment. An autospy showed a
good deal of muscle damage or
necrosis at the injection site in
such cases. Therefore, most ex
perienced sheep veterinarians will
recommend a subcutaneous in
jection (just under the skin). This
change in administration seems to
eliminate the problem with lame
lambs.

selected his 1,335-pound Angus Chi-
Hereford steer as the grand
champion. Jamie considered his
steer, “Hank”, to be over finished.
Hank consumes 25 pounds of gram
daily. However, it was the steer’s
finish and frame, that in Hughes’
opinion, topped the competition.
Jamie got a second surprise at
the sale when Hank set a new sale
price record of $1.50 per pound.
The buyer was Jamie’s grand
father, Glenn Boyer, representing
Glenn W. Boyer and Sons, Elec
trical Contractors, Thomasville.
Jamie plans to bankroll his profits
to finance his first vehicle next
year.
Disease is vitamin E. Selenium
and vitamin E have a sparing
effect on each other but neither one
replaces the other.
In two western flocks under
study experiencing white muscle
disease, tissue analysis confirmed
adequate selenium but deficient
vitamin E levels. The incidence of
white muscle disease ceased when
the creep ration contained the
calculated daily intake per lamb of
20 to SO International Units of
vitamin E.
Since there is no record of excess
vitamin E being toxic to lambs, or
other species for that matter,
whether injected or added to a
ration, it appears wise to include
vitamin E along with adequate
selenium levels as the other part of
a sound white muscle disease
prevention program.
