Joshua is one of the youngest exhibitors ever to win the top title. Cowell says he has been show ing steers for only two years and the 72nd Pennsylvania State Farm Show is his first. The happy young boy from Waynesburg weighs only 70 pounds and he had no diffi culty leading his 1,280-pound black Angus-Chianina, “Coal,” around the Large Arena to delight spectators and photographers. The steer weighs 18 times more than the 10-year-old, but that difference didn’t matter to the boy or steer. “He’s pretty tame,” said CoweljL Asked what he would do with the money from Friday’s sche duled auction of his steer, Cowell said, “I’ll put it in a savings account for college.” The confident young winner said he intends to go to college to become a veterinarian. “But,” he added, “I’ll keep some cattle too.” Seventeen-year-old Mike Mes sick of Middletown, Dauphin County, came close to making it three in a row. Messick’s steer, “Alex,” was Reserve Grand Champ. Messick was last year’s top exhibitor, in fact he showed the Grand Champion Baby Beef for the last two years, winning the title in 1987 and 1986. The Dauphin County boy said he was not disap pointed with second place this year and indicated he was already look ing forward to next year’s compet ition, “I’ll be back again to try again,” he said?
