COLLEGE PARK, MD. It
wasn’t quite like 1986. But this
year’s 4-H and FFA livestock sale
did set some records on Aug. 31 at
the Maryland State Fair in
Timonium.
As in most years, the best action
came with market lambs where
new record prices were set for both
the grand champion animal and
overall average.
The average price for beef steers
also set a new record high. But the
selling price of the grand champ
ion was far below the record set in
1984.
Robert O. Dinsmore, 13, of
Broad Run exhibited the grand
champion market lamb--
completing a 10-year sweep by
Frederick County 4-H members in
this state fair event. Robert had
exhibited the reserve champion
lamb at the state fair in three previ
ous consecutive years.
He sold this year’s grand
champion market lamb for $l3 per
pound-a new state fair record. The
125-pound Hampshire wether was
purchased by Deggeller Attrac
tions, state fair midway conces
sionaire. Deggeller donated the
lamb back to its young owner. It
had purchased Robert’s reserve
champion lamb in 1986.
Jennifer Turner, 15, of Daisy in
Howard County had the reserve
champion 4-H and FFA market
lamb this year at the Maryland
State Fair. The 110-pound Suffolk
crossbred ewe brought $4.50 per
pound from Weston Farms of Glen
Arm.
Exactly two weeks earlier, Jen
nifer had helped to establish live
stock sale fame in the Mid-Atlantic
area when her grand champion 4-H
market lamb at the Howard County
Fair was sold for $6O per pound.
This is believed to be a record for
Maryland-and possibly the East
Coast.
