Dale Hostetler, Annville, swept
the major open Holstein awards by
winning champion and reserve
female titles and both premier
breeder and exhibitor banners at
Lebanon Area Fair.
Dale-Pride Specs Paula, a
home-bred three-year-old, look
the top female honors for Hostetler
at the 190 head show. Paula is clas
sified VG-86 and is working on a
21,000 lb. three year production
record. Paula was sired by Hostet
ler’s own bull, Dale-Pride Rorae
Spectacular. Judge L. Leroy
Plance, Wellsboro, found the
champion’s show winning udder
particularly impressive.
“She wasn’t terrible big, but is
real well balanced cow,” com
mented Plance. “Her width and
height of udder is her real strong
point.”
The reserve champion, Dale-
Pride Pete Agatha, stood second to
the champion in the three-year-old
class. Agatha is classified as an
excellent-90 and has 21,000 lb.
production record. She was sired
by Straight-Pine Elevation Pete.
A father and son operation, the
Hostetlers milk a 100 head regis
tered Holstein herd and farm 500
acres.
Two young Bomgardners from
Ono captured both champion and
reserve junior heifer tides. The
first place senior heifer calf, own
ed by Kevin Bomgardner, was
chosen for the top junior female
honors. Loving-Meadows Rowena
was sired by Hanoverhill
Counselor-ET. Corwin Bomgard
ner walked away with the reserve
junior female title on his interme
diate heifer entry, Loving-
Meadows Baby Janelle.
