one thing to coirect the stray volt
age problem, because their ground
wires to their line poles still have
from four to seven volts in them!!
For anyone not acquainted with
the results of a cow zapped with
stray voltage—let me give a short
course. I personally feel that a cow
struck by stray voltage is similar
to a person having AIDS. It des
troys their immune system. Thai

could buy booze. But most, I
believe, truly needed the help they
sought and often it was too little
that we gave. 1 did what 1 could to
avoid being taken in we gave
vouchers for meals instead of cash
but I realized that if I and the
church were going to err, we
needed to err on the side of com
passion, not cynicism. Some
where in the world there may have
been a church that failed becuase
it was too generous, but I don’t
know of it.
In the story of Ananias and Sap
phira we find a warning to us all.
The problem with these two was
not that they held back something
for themselves, but that they pre
tended that what they gave was all
they had. Peter questions Ananias
about the sale of his property:
“While it remained unsold, did it
not remain your own? And after it
was sold, was it not at your dis
posal?... You have not lied to men
but'to God” (5:3,4).
Are we sure that’s not what we
are doing today?

don, there is nothing that can be
done for them. There are no anti
biotics to treat this condition.
They hold their milk up, kick un
controllably, which, in turn, pulls
down their milk production drasti
cally. In other words, the cow is
ruined for life as a dairy cow and
mutt be disposed of as beef. Also,
some dairymen’s cows have de
formed calves, such as no legs,
etc. Other dairymen had cows that
even died, due to this condition. It
is really hard to explain what all is
involved here, unless you have
had it and experienced it.
P.P. & L. promises the dairy
man that they will compensate
him for the damages, but when
presented with a claim, it is auto
matically denied, even though
their representatives preach, “We
want satisfied customers.”
HOWEVER, IT IS MY
BELIEF THAT WHEN THEY
PUT THE ISOLATOR ON.
THEY ADMITTED GUILT.
I know of no other business or
industry in which you can destroy
a man’s livelihood and not be held
accountable for it. For instance, if
an independent mechanic would
put a foreign additive in the oil of
a P.P. & L. truck, I know he would
have to replace the motor. But P.P.
& L. is putting an additive, which
doesn’t belong there, in our liae
service and gets away with it.
How is this allowed?
If you have any doubts or ques
tions about the integrity of this let
ter, please contact me at (717)
458-5362 and I will be glad to
give you names of six other dairy
men with the problems I am writ
ing about.
Also, if you have any ideas or
suggestions or can recommend
any solution, I would like to hear
from you. Way{ j e F arn sworth

York Co. Correspondent
YORK (York Co.) —“Dunkard
Valley Dutchman” was named
supreme bull at the York Fair’s
open class beef show on Sept 9, a
coup for enthusiasts of the lesser
known “other breeds” in the reg-
Fair’s open beef show with “JLBF Victoria,” his homebred
Limousin. Holding the champion banner is Kim Frantz.
Supremo bull at the York Fair was the Red Angus champ
ion, “Dunkard Valley Dutchman,” bred and exhibited by the

from their Dunkard Valley Farm
IS years ago. 'The-supreme bull
champion was the family’s second
claim to the title in the past several
years.
Judge Howard Hoffman of Dun
walke Farms in New Jersey
praised the champion as a very
competitive animal in the show
ring and the kind of bull he would
like to have himself.
“He has a good temperament—
but one more show and then he's
finished, because he’s getting too
big,” said John Myers, who hand
led the 30-month-old. An embryo
transplant animal, he is sired by a
past national breed champion.
Dutchman is the n.air herd sire for
the Myers’ herd of IS Red Angus
purebred cows.
Dunkard Valley had two other
breed champions in competition
for the supreme bull title, the Sim
mental and Charolais winners.
Others in the supreme bull compet
ition were the Angus, exhibited by
Sunset Hollow-South Branch
Farm, York; the Limousin winner
of Jamie Boyer, East Berlin;
Chapel Hill Farm of Gettysburg
with their Santa Gertrudis; and the
Hereford champion exhibited by
DRS Polled Hereford, Dillsburg.
Jamie Boyer, East Berlin,
snagged his first supreme female
banner in the York Fair’s open
beef show with his stylish and
feminine-looking junior yearling
heifer, “JLB Victoria.” She is sired
by Black Ox, Jr. and is due to calve
in early April of 19%.
“I’m very surprised. It feels
good,” said a pleased Boyer, of his
first top beef show win in the six or
seven years he has exhibited at the
York Fair. Bom during one of the
numerous blizzards of February
1994, Victoria was nearly frozen
when Boyer found her as a new
born, after her mother chose to
