Dl2-Lancaster Farming Saturday, October 14,1989 Bedford County Exhibitor Wins In Polled Hereford Show HARRISBURG (Dauphin Co.) An 18-year-old Penn State sophomore showed the reserve senior champion heifer in the Polled Hereford cattle show dur ing the 33rd annual Keystone International Livestock Exposi tion (KILE) in the State Farm Show Complex. Stephen V. Fritz, of Manns Choice, Bedford Coun ty, Pennsylvania, has been a com petitor at every KILE since the 1984 show. “It seems like the show keeps growing,” said Fritz. ‘This year there are more commercial exhibi tors, and that brought in more peo ple. That suits us, because it’s always better to win when there are more people around.” Fritz also picked up three rib bons in class competition and exhibited the best female bred and owned by exhibitor in the Polled Hereford junior breeding cattle show. Stephen’s family operates Scenic View Farm in Manns Choice. The 330-acre operation is near Bedford. Stephen is a gradu ate of Chestnut Ridge High School in Fishertown. He is study ing Animal Production at Penn State. His KILE reserve senior champion heifer, “SVF Magic Lass 29X” also captured ribbons a week ago in judging at the Eastern National Show in Timonium, Maryland. The same animal was grand champion Polled Hereford at the Bedford County Fair in August. KILE, now in its 33rd year at the State Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg, is one of the premier livestock shows in the nation. Exhibitors have entered 3,500 ani mals in this year’s show, vying for an increased purse of $125,000. The Expo is sponsored by the Pennsylvania Livestock Associa tion in cooperation with the Pen nsylvania Department of Agricul ture and the Farm Products Show Commission.
