Champion Breeding Sheep Honors Go To Twin Brothers,
Market Sheep Championship To Donough At Ephrata Fair
LOU ANN GOOD
Lancaster Farming Staff
EPHRATA (Lancaster Co.)
The Ephrata Fair Sheep Show
reached a climax on Wednesday
night when twin brothers stood in
the showring and vied for the
grand champion breeding sheep
trophy.
In the end, Jeff Bollinger took
the trophy with his Suffolk ewe
and his brother Jerry’s Suffolk ram
settled for the reserve rosette. Ear
lier, Jerry had smoothly wielded
his sheep incompetition to become
the grand champion showman.
The two 19-year-old brothers
have waged friendly competition
in the show ring for years. The
sons of Ray and Sharon Bollinger
have a flock of Suffolks and their
younger brother Ryan has a flock
of Cheviots on the family’s Ephra
ta farm.
Judge John Eaton Jr., Dorset
breeder from York County, said
the decision to choose the grand
champion breeding sheep was a
difficult one because the ram has
tremendous meat and muscle in the
leg and groin and stands correct on
its legs, while the ewe is a great
example of correctness that will
continue to do well on the show
road.
The Bollingers weren’t the only
ones in the spotlight. Ryan
Donough of Manheim showed the
champion market lamb. The
11-year-old is a consistent winner
since he entered competition three
years ago. His homebred Suffolk
cross lamb Ginger was previously
named grand champion non
selling lamb at the E-town Fair. It
was the same story last year when
Ryan showed Ginger’s sister and
won the reserve champion market
lamb at Ephrata and E-town.
Ryan, the son of Ed and Laßue
have 20 ewes on their farm. Of
their homebred sheep that always
seem to be in the winning circle,
the family said, “It’s genetics. She
Champion showmanship honors goes to Jerry Bollinger,
left, and Gerald Boyd receives the reserve champion show
man title. Both exhibitors are Ephrata natives.

Judge Eaton said the champion
lamb is extremely heavy muscled
and firm with a bit more express
ion in leg muscling than the com
petition.
Ryan said that Ginger is walked
about 1 / -mile and put through hur
dles every day for conditioning.
Ryan also was named reserve
champion intermediate showman;
Gerald Boyd was named champion
in that class.
Amy Bollinger took the reserve
market lamb title with her champ
ion lightweight Corey. The
15-year-old said the 134-pound
lamb was also received the champ
ionship in the open show at E
town. The 15-year-old student at
Manheim Central student will
show and sell the 134-pound
Corey at the Manheim Farm Show.
Kendall Reiff’s 110-pound
lamb was selected as the first place
carcass lamb from 11 entries. He

ionship. Stoltzfus also was named
reserve champion senior
showman.

champion and reserve
respectively.
