In his final comments during
the Northeast Championship
Holstein Show, judge Robert Fitz
simmons of East Montpelier, Vt,
said, “I knew there were good
cows in northeastern Pcnnsylvani

tough job ahead of me judging
them. I like to see a sharp dairy
cow, with a good udder. I wasn’t
disappointed.”
While L & J Holsteins of Wells
boro, Ty-Ly-View Farm of Roar
