84-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, Septtmbar 5, 1992 Championships For Reiffs (Contlnuad from Pago B 2) “At Keystone, we never even have gotten close to winning, because open shows are much more difficult,” Lyndon said. The Reiffs purchased lambs from many different breeders such as Don Witt, Tim Fleener, and Tom Slack. “I like to see how much I can buy with the money I have to spend,” Lyndon said. “It’s totally unrealistic to focus on some sheep because they sell for $3,000 —and we don’t have that kind of money.” Talking about money, the brother and sister pool the prize money and the expenses. They are saving it toward college. Lyndon plans to study architecture while the thought of being a corporate lawyer fascinates Lisa. Lyndon, who is 18 years old, will be a senior at Lampeter Sttas burg and Lisa, who is 14, will be a freshman. “When I’m too old to compete in 4-H, I’d like to start a Dorset breeding flock,” Lyndon said. “1 always liked Dorsets the best of all the breeds, but it is harder to win a show with one than with a black faced sheep.” Despite most judges preferring black-faced sheep, Lyndon is pleased that he did win a show with a Dorset last year. “It won’t be nearly as much fun to compete when Lyndon can’t anymore,” said Lisa, who believes that their sheep projects have formed a close bond between them. “Most of my friends don’t understand why I like to raise sheep,” Lisa said. “They say, ‘Aw, you’re going to sell such a cute sheep and have it killed?”’ Lisa said, “When you know you’re raising them for that pur pose, you don’t get nearly as a Easily DY Co “ ects J*r _ ... . mrn F .? r ? e £ Air/ ‘rr~ J Hot Water Systems Perfect For |H| VI • New Home* • Existing Homaa • Swimming Poola |H M • Graanhouaa • Bam UNI A • Mllkhouaa • OHlea IV • Bualnaaa Placaa 1 *a| SAVU MONET - Haala your homo r■' ■! {jK and dermatic hot water (aava to -> 2SS of electric Mil).

Since Lyndon works part time at a shoe store and part time in his dad’s and uncle’s landscaping bus iness (R & R Landscaping) during the summer, he doesn’t spend as much time with the sheep as Lisa does. He also was part of a mission team that worked at a retirement home in Florida.

Service evening. “I used to like taking care of the sheep better than showing them," Lisa said, “but now I like showing better.” As far as a favorite breed, Lisa said, “Suffolk, crossbred, Hamp shires I like them all. But Dorsets seem to be calmer.” When Lisa is inside the house and hears the sheep bleating, she can tell each one by its bleat. “The smaller ones bawl more,” she said. “We got a laid-back olf named Frank who never bawls.” The siblings’ parents are Lloyd and Laura Reiff. They have a 21-year-old brother Lloyd, who never got into sheep showing, but showed steers. Lebanon. PA EVERGREEN TRACTOR CO. 717-272-4641 1-800-441-4450 Mill Hall.
