While heavy winds and rains raged
outside the show tent, Troy Gelsin
gcr held fast to “Pride,” a
1,130-pound Angus/Chianina/
Maine Anjou crossbred steer. In
the end, Troy went on to win grand
champion of the market steer show
last week at the Reading Fair.
Troy, 17, son of Larry and
Delores Gelsinger, is a senior at
Conrad Weiser High School. The
steer was from the heavy light
weight class.
Show judge Howard Hoffman,
farm manager at Dunwalke Farms,
Fair Hills, N.J., said he belived the
steers in the show were “more
than adequate” for the market and
would meet industry standards.
But Troy’s stood out because of
the steer’s top, smooth shoulder
and rib, and depth in loin, accord
ing to Hoffman.
Hoffman, who raises Polled
Hercfords at Dunwalke Farms,
picked Kelly Dietrich’s “Bliz
zard” (named for the Blizzard of
’93), a purebred Angus, as reserve
champion. Kelly, 9, daughter of
Jim and Karen Dietrich, Hamburg,
is in the fourth grade at Schuylkill
Valley Elementary School. Her
steer weighed 1,235 pounds, from
