QUARRYVILLE (Lancaster
Co.) When the sawdust settled
at the Solanco Fair Sheep Show on
Wednesday, KJ. glowed with an
aura of the stuff that champions
exude. For his stately bearing and
firm muscling, the 127-pound
sheep claimed the champion mark
et lamb trophy.
Owner Tiffany Dean said she
named K.J. after the former
champion Penn State football
player Ki-Jana Carter because she
loves the Penn State team.
The market lamb showed some
of the same characteristics as its
namesake because it took all the
strength the 9-ycar-old owner
possessed to keep the feisty market
lamb from bounding away.

and Gary Dean of Strasburg. It was
the first time Tiffany showed a
champion. She had purchased the
lamb from Lloyd Reiff of Stras
burg.
The reserve market lamb title
went to another Reiff lamb, this
one shown by Brent Landis. It was
the second year in a row that the
10-year-old took the reserve mark
et lamb title at the Solanco Fair.
Bam Bam, named for the Flints
tones, got plenty of exercise in pre
paration fra* the show because
Brent likes leading him around his
yard. Brent is the son of Jim and
Linda Landis of Quarryville.
Chosen from the 58 entries, the
champion and reserve titles met
with competition from Grant
Hossler’s champion lightweight,
Allison Hughes champion middle
weight and reserve champion
lightweight, and Brad Leaman’s
Put
champion and
heavyweights.
Lytle said he chose the champ
ion and reserve from the light
heavyweight class for being the
most complete.
In showmanship, 13-year-old
Jessica Schmidt outmaneuvered
30 other showmen, including those
several years her senior.
“She adapts well to her sheep,”
Lytle said of Jessica’s smooth
transition between standing and
kneeling while showing her Dorset
lamb.
“It’s just a normal sheep,” Jessi
ca said of the Dorset named
Waylon.
Jessica is the daughter of Laurie
and Pete Schmidt of Drumote.
