NEW WINDSOR. Md. For
the first time in the 41 year history
of the Eastern National Livestock
show, Saler beef cattle were
shown at the event, which was
held last month at the Maryland
State Fairgrounds in Tirngnium.
Seven Saler (pronounced Sah
laire) breeders from Virginia,
Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and
West Virginia, brought 22 head of
the dark red breed to their first
exhibition show at the E.N.L.S.
and were very pleased with the
facility and the reception they
received, according to several
breeders and breed representa
tives. Salers were imported into
the North American continent in
1972 from France and are reputed
to be one of the oldest breeds of
cattle known to man.
“The Eastern National was
pleased to host the Saler breed and
look forward to establishing this
as a regular show here,” said
Show General Manager, Andy
Cashman.
Each year the Eastern National
Livestock Show attracts livestock
exhibitors from across the country
and Canada. This year 350 exhibi
tors brought 918 head of livestock
including 416 beef cattle and 278
sheep from 16 states to participate.
In addition 8 teams participated in
