Lancaster Fanning Staff ELIZABETHTOWN (Lancas ter Co.) Jessica and Jason Stoltzfus, daughter and son of Frank and Irene Stoltzfus, of Eli zabethtown, showed the grand champion and reserve grand champion market steers Wednes day night at the Elizasbethtown Fair. Jessica showed a 1,305-pound Angus/Maine Angou crossbred steer she named “Willy* to win the competition. The steer Erst won its heavyweight division championship. Jason showed a purebred Shor thorn steer, “Atlas,” to capture the reserve grand champion title. He was just able jo show the steer before starting college for the fall. He was to have left for Messiah College in Grantham on Thursday. Judge of the 11-head show was Kevin Diehl, of Fairfield (Pa.), who said that he had just finished observing a steer show that was perhaps 10 times as large. ‘The quality of animals brought before me today is just as good,” he told the young exhibitors. Diehl farms 300 acres and has a 73-head cow/calf beef operation in addition to a general farming oper ation. He said he also shows steer and does some judging. He praised the youth on their accomplishments in raising the animals, and in showing them. For the Sloltzfus siblings, it was the first grand and reserve grand championship they won with steer. At their parents farm, which is primarily a swine operation, the children have raised show hogs and sheep and just started showing steer. Jessica showed the supreme champion at her 4-H roundup last year, while Jason showed the reserve champion market lamb at this year’s 4-H roundup, three weeks ago. There are actually two different competitions held at the local fair. The one that the Stoltzfuses won was for market animals that were to be sold Thursday night The other was for animals that weren’t to be sold. Kavln Pfautt. Light Haavywaight Champion: Ryan Donough.
