More And Better Sheep
(Contlnirad from Pago Dl4)
Lancaster is the “name” in Hamp
shire competition.
With his first place yearling ram
and spring ram lamb, Musselman
claimed both the champion and the
reserve champion ram.
He also swept the champion and
reserve titles in the ewe competi
tion with his spring ewe lambs.
Hampshire premier breeder and
exhibitor awards went to Wey
Farms of Mertztown in Berks
County.
Currently, Musselman has 48
purebred Hampshires and 35 com
mercial Polypays. He said, Tm
ashamed to say how many I’d
like.”
Confidentially, he’d like 100
purebred ewes. In a few weeks
he’ll be moving to a 12-acre farm
where he can expand his flock.
This year’s champion ram was last
year’s first place ram lamb and the
reserve champion was last year’s
grand champion.
Musselman’s prize sheep are
known for their overall balance
with good hind saddle, which
means a longer and broader loin
that helps with reproduction and
with choice meat pieces.
Cheviot
In the Cheviot competition,
Donna MacCauley, Atglen, and
Mike Koehler claimed the spot
light. Koehler of Schnecksville in
Lehigh County took the champion
ram award and John Eaton of York
the reserve champion.
But it was MacCauley who
pulled ahead with both champion
and reserve champion ewe, and
who was named premier breeder
and premier exhibitor. The champ
ion ewe went on to capture the
supreme title for the best of the
meat breeds, which included
In Southdown competition Kevin Kuykemdale showed
the champion ewe for Kwl: <»kr if Clarksbi*'
Wey Shropshire* of .
(shown above) and other numerous placlngs.
Shropshires, Southdowns, Suf
folk, Cheviots, Dorsets and
Hampshires.
MacCauley, who showed her
sheep in competition that began
Sunday at 9 a.m., had to leave
before the naming of the supreme
champion at 8 p.m. Her brother.
Bill, said the cheviot yearling ewe
has imp blood lines and is excep
tional for its breed.
Southdown
Traditional names like Steve
Kwisnek, Kyle Fleener, and Matt
Trostle dominated the Southdown
competition. Kwisnek of Clarks
burg showed both the champion
ewe and ram. Matt Trostle of York
County* showed the reserve
champion ewe and Kyle Fleener
the reserve champion ram.
Although only five years old, Kyle
is following in the footsteps of his
parents and grandparents who own
Blu-Acre Farm in Robesonia.
SHROPSHIRE
Wey Shropshires of Mertztown
in Berks County held their reputa
tion for stiff competition in the
Shropshire breed. The champion
ram and other top showings kept
the premier breeder and exhibitor
awards in their name. But fellow
Berks countians Gold Star Shrops
of Fleetwood gave the Wey opera
tion a run for its money. Gold Star
Shrops claimed the champion ewe
and both reserve champion ewe
and ram.
