York Co. correspondent
YORK (York Co.) Some
times you can have your cake and
eat it, too.
A cake donated to the York
County 4-H meats judging team,
auctioned off as the kickoff offer
ing at the the junior livestock sale
recently, earned the team $825
toward its attendance at national
competition.
And then they got to eat it, as
well.
But not until the cake—with
colorful icing-based depictions of
a sheep, hog and steer —had gone
from the hands of donor and dec
orator Lois Rankin, Abbottstown,
and through nine separate bidders
who turned it back to the assem
bled junior livestock exhibitors to
share.
George and Joan Grim were the first buyers
of the cake, with a $2lO bid.
“Sell it again,” the Thomasville couple
instructed. York County Pork Producers took
up the challenge, making the second cake buy
at $l5O. Back on the auction block it went
again.
In rapid succession, the cake then sold to
Glatfelter Agribusiness Insurance, Anderson
Feed Company, B & B Cake Buyers Syndicate,
Innerst’s Berkshires and Parlett’s Twin Maple
Farm, Carlos Loeffler, Inc., Neutzel’s York
shires and Wilson’s Yorkshires. On the ninth
round of bidding, the Jack Myers’ family’s
Dunkard Valley Farm purchased the cake and
donated it to all the assembled junior livestock
exhibitors to share.
Spirited bidding for the cake set the stage for
the sale of the champions of the beef, swine,
and lamb shows judged earlier. And numerous
other purchases were generously donated back
to benefit various county junior livestock pro
grams, including $2,500 toward the York
County 4-H exhibition center under construc
tion.
Boss’s Steak and Sea House restaurants held
out in a quick runup of bids on the champion
steer, exhibited by Shawn Waltimyer of
Airville. The regional restaurant chain paid $3
per pound for the 1,295-pound crossbred, then
donated it back in benefit of the 4-H meats
judging team. On the second round of bids,
Walter’s Cattle Co., Airville, purchased Wal
timyer’s steer for 75 cents per pound.
A $1.30 per pound bought the reserve cham
pion market steer for south Branch Farms,
Robert Kinsley, York. Exhibitor of the 1,230-
pound reserve winner was Suzanne Bishard,
York.
Champion and reserve champion market
lambs were both from the same exhibitor and
purchased by the same buyer. Lebanon Valley
National Bank bought the pair of lambs from
Adam Sellers, Thomasville, paying $2 per
pound for the 127-pound champion and $1.90
per pound for the 119-pound reserve lamb.
High pcr-pound price for the day went to the
champion market hog, a 248-pound crossbred
that sold on a $6.50 per pound bid from Lease’s
Auto Body and Paint Specialists and BSW.
Exhibitor of the champion hog was Bobbi
Myers, Thomasville.
