ELIZABETHTOWN (Lancas
ter Co.) —Sometimes you have to
go to great lengths to win a sheep
championship.
If you want to find out how far,
just ask the Elizabethtown Fair
supreme champion sheep winner
Ann Leid. To obtain the champion,
a Dorset fall ewe lamb, she
traveled with parents Robert and
Nancy Leid to the Eastern Stud
Ram and Ewe Sale inStaunton,Va.
Ann, 11, Meyers town, Lebanon
County, is in the sixth grade at
Elco and helps maintain 30 head of
Dorsets and Hampshires on her
family’s Deep Run Farm. This is
the first time she showed at Eli
zabethtown, and her first supreme
champion at the fair.
As for the market and sale
champion sheep winner Lisa ReifF,
she also traveled far to obtain a
champion. On a Saturday in April,
she traveled with ho- family to
North Manchester, Ind. Why so
far? The event was the Formula
For Champions Sale, hosted by
Tom Slack.
Lisa, IS, daughter of Lloyd and
Laura Reiff, Strasburg, won grand
champion market and sale lajnb at
the Elizabethtown Sheep Show on
a hot and humid Wednesday after
noon with “Bill,” Lisa’s
116-pound Suffolk wether. Bill
was purchased at the Formula For
Champions Sale, and this champ
ionship marked four in a row for
the Lampeter-Strasburg High
School sophomore.
Lisa, who was first in her divi
sion in the showmanship portion of
the event and also won the champ
ion pens of three, is a member of
the 4-H Woolies Club.

HYTEST
Reserve champion supreme was
awarded to Jerry Bollinger for his
Suffolk ram. Reserve market lamb
was awarded to Ryan Donough.
The judge. Peter LeVan, a
Dorset breeder from State College,
picked the supreme champion
sheep because of the consistently
high quality of the breed, he told
the exhibitors. For the market
sheep, Reiffs Suffolk was picked
from the heavyweight division
because the lamb showed the
“balance and style which com
bines all we’re looking for in the
industry today.” he said. “It will
cut out a really good, accepdble
loin eye.”
In all, there were a total of 210
sheep and 63 exhibitors.

placings.
