Supreme Champion’s Milk
CAROLYN N. MOYER
Bradford Co. Correspondent
TROY (Bradford Co.) The
price of milk hit the roof at the
1995 Troy Fair as youth auctioned
off gallons and quarts of milk from
the champion dairy animals shown
at the annual youth show.
One gallon of milk from David
Packard’s supreme champion
topped the sale at $675. Gray’s
Trucking of Rome purchased the
decorated gallon container filled
with the “white gold.”
Pelton Trucking was the second
top bidder as representatives
entered the final bid of $4OO for a
quart of milk contributed by Jill
Sheeley’s reserve grand champion
Holstein.
Pelton trucking was also the
high volume buyer, having also
purchased a basket of Bradford
County products including cheese,
meat, honey, maple syrup and
other goodies for $2OO.

The third high price was bid by
Judson’s Incorporated for a quart
- of milk sold from Christine Eick’s
reserve grand champion Jersey.
The feed and supply store contri
buted $390 in support of the

According to Bonnie Borek, co

one of the best milk auctions ever.
The average on milk sold from
eight containers of milk and three
baskets filled with Bradford Coun
ty products was well over $2BO.
“I was very, very impressed
with the cooperation of the kids

wonderful. I’d like to give a spe

The proceeds from the auction
are divided between the 4-H or
