(Continued from Pago D 9)
homebred Polled Hereford, Trix,
to the fact that, “I’m bigger this
year and I know more.” According
to her father, Trix was sired by
Enforcer 107 H Bull.
This is the second year Angela
has been exhibiting animals at the
fair. In addition to her win above,
this year her Dorset ewe won the
grand champion prize in the youth
sheep breeding show, and reserve
champion in the open show.
Angela says her favorite part of
showing animals is getting rib
bons. Whereas she says, giving the
steers baths ranks lowest on her list
of duties. “Steers are hard to give
baths to, lambs are not as big.”
Laural Lovell with her two
grand champion trophies in the
youth market lamb and market hog
divisions this year has been exhi
biting animals at the fair for five
years. In previous years she
copped trophies for the reserve
grand champion steer and grand
champion market lamb.
Laura’s wether, Adam, is home
bred using a ram purchased from
Max Dehart, Milton. The grand
champion market hog was a
Duroc.
The best part of showing is win
ning money according to Laura,
but before winning she must per
form her least favorite task, that of
cleaning out the pens.
Ralph and Marion Lovell,
parents of the sisters, have been
involved in 4-H for much of their
lives, first as members and for the
past few years as leaders of Bottle
Run 4-H along with Debbie Cor
ter. Ralph says most of their steers
and lambs are homebred. Marion
adds that last year they started
planning this year’s fair exhibits
on the way home from the fair. She
attributes their children’s succes
ses to, “Prayer, hard work, and a
little luck.”
Winner of the reserve grand
champion market lamb was Cathy
Murray, 18, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. John Murray, Muncy,
Cathy’s Hamp-Suffolk cross lamb,
also named Adam, was purchased
from Dave T. Albert, Trout Run.
A member of the Little Muncy
Creek 4-H, Cathy has been in 4-H
six years, and showing sheep a tot
al of four years. In other years she
has won the reserve grand champ
ionship in open beef show and last
year took both the 4-H and open
grand trophies in the steer
competition.
Cathy says she wanted to win
the sheep competition before leav
ing 4-H. Her lamb won, she says,
because the judge liked it and also
because of her showmanship.
Animals, Cathy reports, are the
best part of 4-H projects and com
petitions. “I love animals,” she
says. “I don’t know what I’d do if I
had to give them up.” To win the
lamb shows, Cathy advises
4-H’ers to walk their lambs to
muscle them and to make sure they
are clean.
Melanie Jarrett, age 7, captured
the reserve grand champion mark
et hog award. The daughter of
Mike and Nancy Jarrett, Mont
gomery, Melanie is a junior 4-H
member of the Bald Eagle 4-H
Club. Her york-cross pig. Piglet,
was purchased from Leon Arnold,
Lebanon.
Stating she was, “Happy and
proud to win,” Melanie thought
one of the best things about her
,4-H endeavor was that showing
her pig turned out to'be fun. Her
one tip on showing Was to
“practice with it a lot” Melanie
also won a master showing and fit
ting with her pig, and won first
place with her calf in the junior calf
class in the youth dairy show
which isn’t bad, considering this is
her first year in 4-H.
