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

Nevertheless, Lisa, who docs
much of the cooking since her
mother manages the Kitchen
Kettle House in Intercourse,
admits that she can’t cook lamb
because it would be too hard
knowing that she had raised it.
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.
Lisa estimates that she spends
one hour feeding the sheep each
morning and three hours feeding
and exercising them in the

“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.
