family of Quarryville was instru
mental in starting the Hostetlers
showing.
“It’s nice to have good friends,”
said Hostetter.
This was not an easy win. There
was a lot of tough competition.
According to the Holstein show
judge Knutsen, quality was run
ning so deeply that many times it
was a close contest into the fifth
and sometimes sixth places.
“I am pleased to see so many very
fine animals here today, but you
are really making me work hard,”
said Knutsen.
He paced and patted repeatedly.
He directed the exhibitors to line
up the animals and that he paced
and studied again. He would
motion for the exhibitors to circle
the show ring again. And again he
paced and panted and studied the
animals which exemplified the
best characteristics of the Holstein
breed.
