WHITNEYVILLE A hand
some red Holstein owned by James
Slocum, Susquehanna, Pa., gar
nered top honors in the Northeast
Pennsylvania Championship
Show held at the Tioga County
Fairgrounds, Whitneyville. It was
the first time in the show’s 14 year
history that a red Holstein took
home the grand champion trophy.
One hundred sixty-two animals
were shown.
The reserve grand champion
award went to Gordon and Dor
othy Wood, Mansfield, for their
six-year-old entry, Gor-Wood D
Creek Harriet. The Woods also
won the premier breeder and pre
mier exhibitor awards again this
year.
In the Junior Show Jayßraund
of Braund-Valley Farms, Troy,
captured first place with his two
year-old, Braund-Valley Chair
man Emma. Reserve Grand
Champion in the Junior Show went
to Jackie Sparling, Mansfield, for
her three year old cow, Anne-How
Dairyman Annette.
“She’s the best cow my wife and
I ever owned,” said James Slocum
owner of the five-year-old grand
champion of the show, C Mount
Haven Crystan Reta-Rcd. Accord
ing to Slocum, at three years, eight
months in 365 days she produced
26.081 M, 5.7 percent fat, and 1474
pounds fat. In 1986 she was an All
Pennsylvania Four Year Old, and
All America Red & White Four
year-old. This year she placed sec
ond in her class at the spring show
in Harrisburg, and she and her
daughter placed first in the dam
and daughter class at the Interna
tional Red and White Show at
Canandiagua, N.Y.
Reta-Red, who possesses an
open pedigree, was purchased in
Canada by the Slocums while yet a
heifer. The Slocums milk 25 cows
about half of which are red and
white Holsteins on their 400 acre
farm.
The Gordon and Dorothy Wood
family of Mansfield have been top
competitors at the Northeast Pen
nsylvania Championship Show for
many years winning reserve grand,
grand, and premier breeder exhibi
tor several times.
Gordon Wood acknowledged it
was a strong show this year with
more competitors from other
areas. Their homebred entry, Gor-
Wood-D Creek Harriet, who won
the reserve grand champion of the
show, is classified at EX 93 with
her highest lactation at 31,000,
according to Ron, Gordon’s son.
Ron added that they were pleased
to have won the “best three of the
show” since their cows placed first
in the three-year-old, four-year
old, and aged cow categories.
Winner of the Junior Champion
Female Trophy went to Lynn &
Bonnie Miller, Towanda, for their
homebred entry, Royal-Haven
Valiant Prudence, a senior year
ling heifer.
Jay Braund of Braund-Valley
Farms, Troy, captured the grand
champion of the Junior Show with
the aforementioned two-year-old
who won reserve Junior All Pen
nsylvania in 1986 and thus far this
year, the open grand and supreme
champion of the 1987 Troy Fair,
plus the grand champion prizes at
the Bradford County 4-H Round
up and the Northeast District 4-H
Show at Harford. Emma is home
bred and out of a dam classified at
VG 87, and a granddam classified
at EX 93. She won, Braund said,
because she was tall, stylish, and
possessed a “really gObd udder.”
