A3O-L«nc«stfr Farming, Saturday, January 15, 1994 Goat Show Wraps Up 1994 Farm Show Competitor! LOU ANN GOOD Lancaster Farming Staff HARRISBURG (Dauphin Co.) The goat show wrapped up the final competition at the Pennsylva nia State Farm Show on Thursday. Entries were dpwn because bad weather prevented about 2S regis tered participants from traveling to the show, but with 180 head, com petition remained stiff. Clinching the coveted Best Doe of Show title were Harold and Joan Stump of Telford with their Alpine GCH Stump Hollow TS Bonjour. Championship blood runs heav ily in the doe’s blood. In 1991, the Stumps captqred the same presti gious title with this year’s champ ion doe’s dam. Bonjour has' been a grand champion for several years at shows across the state. She milked 2,600 pounds in lactation which compared to a cow translates into 26,000 pounds per lactation. According to Jerome Mensch, judge for the event and a herdsman for a large dairy goat operation in Maryland, the champion has good angulation and a well attached, shapely udder with lots of room. The champion gave birth to doe triplets this past year. The Stumps, who raise 20 Alpines, said they became inter ested in goats by accident. It hap pened in 1981, when Harold built a bam to house his antique bam equipment. He thought it would be good to add a part to keep a pet ani mal. Someone talked them into buying two pet goats. Later, an acquaintance who was into show ing goats, convinced them to enter a show. That year, they placed at the bottom of a large class. “My husband couldn’t handle that. He determined to move up so he could at least get the last ribbon that is handed out,” Joan said. The next year, he did. But that wasn’t good enough. He set his sights on the grand champion title. By 1985, the Stumps became seri ous breeders. Championship rib bons are now a permanent achieve ment with their show string. In the La Mancha division, Ann Miller’s GCH Rockspring Pulsar Dixie Debra was named champion. The La Mancha champion is a 6-year-old two-star milker. It has an excellent 90 classification and received the Best Udder in its breed at the National Goat Show held this past summer. Ann Miller shows the champion La Mancha GCH Rockspring Pulsar Dixie Debra. Miller raises 40 head ofToggcn burgs and La Manchas on her Tel ford farm and consistently wins best of breed and best of show titles. Miller duplicated her champion win in the Toggenburg division by showing Rockspring COMM Gabriele Gleam. The doe carries two legs toward a championship, but this year’s title did not count because Farm Show competition is a restricted show. In the Nubian division, Jane Schalitzky of Landisburg, Perry County, took the grand champion title with Deer Trail Chili Krystal. It was the first time Schalitzky saw one of her nine Nubians capture the championship in her 10 years of showing. In the All Other Purebreds divi sion, Jamie Harpster look the top placing with her Sannen doe 40 Crossing Peaches & Cream. Jamie, a 16-year-old from State College has been showing for five years. This was the first time, she showed a champion from the 11-heqd herd. In addition to Sannens, Jamie raises Nubians and Toggenburgs. In the Recorded Grades Divi sion, a 7-year-old doe named Mari na showed by Helen Snyder took first place. It was the third year for Snyder to win top placing with a Nubian. Snyder raises 40 head of Nubians and two head of recorded breeds on her Newport farm. Marina, who milks 4,000 pounds, is listed in the top 10 pro duction record of DHIR.
