A2O-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, October 14,1989
BY PAT PURCELL
MANHEIM (Lancaster Co.)
A beautiful, warm, sunny day for
the Manheim Farm Show dairy
competition was quite a change
after several years of brisk,
unfriendly weather for show goers.
The dairy show was as rewarding
as the weather with quality dairy
cattle from the Holstein, Jersey,
Ayrshire, and Guernsey breeds
competing for premiums, ribbons
and trophies, but mostly for the
judge’s approval of their breeding
program. John Bomgardner, a
Holstein breeder from Lebanon
County judged the show.
Angie Spickler of Mount Joy
captured the junior champion title
with MAK Laetest Kate 11. Kate
was also the reserve junior champ
ion at the 4-H County Round-up
this year. Elizabeth Spickler won
the reserve junior title with Stars
Stetson Star-lite.
Grand champion of the show
went to Ron Groffs senior 2-year
old, Starglow. This champion was
the grand champion of the Ephrata
Fair Dairy Show. Reserve grand
went to Angie Spickler’s interme
diate calf and junior champion
Harold Brubaker of Manheim
won the grand championship in the
Guernsey division. The Brubaker
family are well-known Holstein
breeders, but Harold could not
resist purchasing two Guernseys
when they became available for
purchase. Fawn Lane Dots Handy
has taken grand champions at the
Manheim Farm Show previously
and continued her reign this year.
Ron Groff captured his second grand championship of the
show season with his senior 2-year-old at the Manhelm
Sun Shines
Reserve grand went to Heather
Henisee’s W. S. Telstar Annie, a
4-year-old.
The Brubaker family carried on
the tradition of winning in the
Holstein compeition. Grand
championship titles went to Low
ell’s 3-year-old and 5-year-old
entries. The grand champion was
H H Regal Vanessa, a first grand
title for her and a well-deserved
with an outstanding mammary
system.
In the youth Holstein division
Jason Wivell of Columbia won the
grand title with his- 2-year-old,
Donegal-Creek Melvin Ginger. In
4 years of showing this was his
first grand championship. Melanie
Balmer of Manheim took the
reserve grand title for Balmer
Bros. Farm with her 3-year-old
Leh-Mer-Pine Bell Tiffany.
In the open division Lowell Bru
baker took the junior champion
ship. Derek Hershey won the
reserve junior title in his first
competition.
Matt Kolb of Lancaster took
both junior and reserve junior titles
in the youth Holstein show.
