BONNIE BRECHBILL
Franklin Co. Correspondent
CHAMBERSBURG franklin
Co.) Wearing a satin peach
gown, Anna Calhoun of Dayton,
Armstrong County, was crowned
1993 Pennsylvania Jersey Queen
at the annual meeting of the Penn
sylvania Jersey Cattle Club March
26. The daughter of Bill and Betty
Calhoun, Anna is a sophomore at
Dayton High School, where she is
a cheerleader and soccer player.
An active member of the Dayton
Livestock 4-H Club, the Dayton
Area Variety 4-H Club, and the
Armstrong County 4-H Council,
Anna owns two Jersey cows. She
has been recognized as the out
standing senior 4-H Girl in Arms
trong County and was a Keystone
4-H winner in dairy foods.
In her presentation, Anna, 15,
told the audience of Jersey breed
ers at the Howard Johnson’s
Motor Lodge in Chambcrsburg
how the Pennsylvania Jersey Club
is keeping abreast of challenges.
Citing the efficiency of the Jersey
cow, she said that the current
emphasis on protein content of
milk makes the Jersey cow attrac
tive to dairymen. Jersey milk has
20 percent more protein and 15

percent more calcium than milk
from other breeds, Anna said.
In the impromptu question por
tion of the competition, master of
ceremonies Todd Stroup asked
Anna, “What would you do if you
found out your name had been
selected in a drawing and you
were getting 50 bred Jersey heif
ers and 50 bred Holstein heifers
tomorrow?”
“I’d take them all,” Anna
replied. “It would build my herd
up, and the Jerseys would bring
more butterfat and protein into my
herd.”
As Queen, Anna said that she
plans to support the Jersey breed
and let everybody know that there
is a Pennsylvania Jersey Cattle
Club.
Crowned Alternate Pennsylva
nia Jersey Queen was Michelle
Ryan, daughter of Maryann and
Bob Chavey of Linglcstown, Dau
phin County. A freshman at Har
risburg Area Community College
and a member of the Lower Dau
phin FFA, Michelle owns three
Jerseys, which she shows.
In answering the impromptu
question, Michelle said that at first
she would be upset if she were
about to receive 50 bred Jersey
heifers and 50 bred Holstein heif
ers because she does not live on a
farm. She said she would ask
questions about how to take care
of them, and that she would keep
the ones with the best genetic
backgrounds. “It would be better
than winning the lottery,” she
said.
1992 Pennsylvania Jersey
Queen Marsha Chess thanked the
Jersey breeders for the wonderful
year she had as Queen. She had
been named fourth runner-up in
the National Jersey Queen contest
in Louisville, KY during her
reign.
Judges for the event were Julia
Meyers of St. Thomas, chairper
son of the Franklin County Dairy
Promotion committee; Duane
Norman of Fulton, Maryland,
research leader of the Animal
Improvement Programs Laborat
ory, USDA, Bcllsvillc Laborat
ory; and Kathy Hartung of Mcr
ccrsburg, Jersey breeder.
