bitor took home the purple rosette
from the New Holland market
lamb show, while the winning
steer was led by a relative
beginner.
Kristin Chupp, a senior at Gar
den Spot High School, exhibited a
stylish 125-pound Suffolk named
Jack that was judged to be the
grand champion of its show. The
17-year-old daughter of Larry and
Barb Weaver, Chupp later sold her
prize-winning lamb to Willie the
Butcher (William Kreider) for
$3.50 per pound.
Flipside, already a champion
steer, won the day once again for
Casey High, 10, the son of Larry
and Mae High of Lititz. The
1,300-pound purebred Angus was
slapped as grand champion by
judge Brian Fitzgerald at the New
Holland Fair’s beef show, going
one title better than the Lancaster

of Ephrata led a 1,280-pound
Angus-Maine Anjou-Chiania
cross named Red to reserve grand
champion honors. Weaver, the son
of Carol and Roy Weaver, pur
chased the steer at Wolfe Farms in
Indiana because the price was
right. “When I got him home and
cleaned him up, he looked pretty
good so I kept him instead of sell
ing him to someone else.”

attention at the sale, where the ani
mal was sold for $1.30 per pound.
