those held at county fairs, set the
pace for competition later in the
fall during the All American and
into the 1992 state Farm Show.
The South East FFA Region

Despite heat and a number of
scratches from the lineup Tuesday,
the four-breed show included
entries in Holstein, Guernsey,
Brown Swiss and Jersey cattle.
There wasn’t enough interest in
the Ayrshire breed to warrant a
show Tuesday. However, there
will be strong showings in the
breed at later area shows, accord
