ness of foreudder and levelness of
topline of the winner.

ed her fourth lactation with over
30,000 pounds milk and is cur
rently projected to repeat that pro
duction her fifth time through the
milking string. She is owned by
June Boyer and her father, John
Haar, New Oxford, and was bred
by Shane Swartzbeck, Union
Bridge, Maryland.
The- champion title was at least
the second for Justina, having won
the York Fair Supreme Dairy
award as a younger cow. As a
junior-two-year-old. she was nam
ed All-Pennsylvania.
Reserve champion honors went
to the Knight family’s Woodbine
Farms. Airville, with a beautiful
ly- uddered and well-balanced
four-year-old.

also named Best Bred and Owned

ring. She scored VG-87 as a two
year-old and finished her first lac
tation with over 23,000 pounds
milk and 850 pounds fat.

Thompson family’s Coredale
Farms. The tall, stylish heifer was
selected Best Bred and Owned for
the East Berlin Holstein breeders.

pion rosettes was Dar-Dale Mantis
Tristie, a 4-H project animal ex
hibited by Dixie Lynn Doll, Glen
Rock. The fall yearling was bred
by Dixie’s brother, Dana. She was
named junior champion the pre
vious day at the York 4-H dairy

blue ribbons in both the junior and
senior two-year-old classes, dry
aged cow class, best three senior

place spots.
Acknowledged by judge Genie
Roberts as the most difficult class
of the day was the popular Kiddie
Klass, open to youngsters between
three and seven years old, show
ing a junior calf.
“I quit!” she quipped to the
audience of parents, breeders and
friends when confronted with a
showring full of ten wide-eyed
children tightly clutching the hal
ters of their well-trained calves.
But after careful evaluation and a
brief chat with each competitor
about their calf, judge Roberts.se
lected two winners.
