GAY BROWNLEE
Somerset Co. Correspondent
MGYERSDALE (Somerset
Co.) It was a close call between
the grand champions of the Jersey
and Holstein breeds, but type
judge Steve Shaw of Williams
burg was won over by the 4-year
old Jersey, Roses Hermitage Mis
sy, owned by 13-year-old Wendy
Jo Rose of Hollspopple, when he
named the supreme champion at
the Somerset County Junior Dairy
Show recently.
‘There’s a tremendous pair of
udders on these cows,” Shaw told
the crowd, "but the 4-year-01d... I
just love the front end,” he said, as
the shorter brownish cow and the
big black and white one stood side
by side. He shared the reasoning
behind his decision.
‘The bloom and freshness of
the Jersey qualifies her as the
supreme champion,” he stated.
Rebob Duncan Hermitage-ET
and Roses Beau Megan are Mis
sy’s sire and dam. The breeder is
Shallow Run Farm in New
Florence.
Wendy, the daughter of Joel
and June Rose, has a sister Jessica
and a brother, Brian.
Joshua Lynn Van Tassel’s
3-year-old Jersey, named Tashas
Dunker Tara, was the Jersey
reserve grand champion.
The Friedens area young man is
the 14-year-old son of Ernest and
Kimberly Van Tassel.
Although her senior 2-year-old
grand champion Holstein Mfl
bro Highlight Carmel almost,
but not quite, took “supreme,”
Julie Miller still had a banner day.
That’s because her senior 3-year
old Gor-Wood-D Warden Far
aday was the Holstein breed
reserve grand champion.
The 14-year-old daughter of
Mark and Martha Miller of Bos
well had more ribbons than she
had hands to handle them.
But it was worth it to hear the
judge say about her grand champ
ion: “I love this Holstein. You
won’t beat the frame on that
2-year-old.”
Adam Lee Coleman of Berlin,
with his senior champion Brown
Swiss named Four D Heidi Erica,
was the proud owner of the Brown
Swiss grand champion.
The 14-year-old son of Phillip
and Lee Ann Coleman of Berlin
took first last year at states in the
Brown Swiss breed, and Coleman
wouldn’t mind sensing deja vu
with his 4-year-old, in 1996.
Nathan Tressler, 17, of Somer
set had the Brown Swiss reserve
grand champion with a senior
3-year-old named IE Tresslers
Molly.
His parents are Jack and Sue
Tressler.
The Guernsey breed was repre
sented by two animals. Shaw said,
“Even though our Guernseys are
lacking in number, they are not
lacking in quality.”
So he appointed the winter calf
of Justin Carl Kaufman, 10, one of
Allen and Gloria Kaufman’s three
children, as the grand champion.
Her name is Prides Veva.
The family is from Friedens.
Eric D. Murray’s spring year
ling named Filmors Ednas Elsie
was the Guernsey reserve grand
champion.
Murray, 15, is the son of Tim
and Janet Murray of Salisbury.
The junior dairy show’s early
date was a new thing for members
of the various 4-H clubs and FFA
chapters in the county.
Usually held during the week of
the Somerset County Fair in mid
reserve grand champion Holstein cows at the Somerset
County Junior Holstein Show, held on July 16.
August, the date was moved up so
kids could quality their animals
for the combined FFA and 4-H
regional dairy show set for August
2 in Martinsburg, Blair County.
Of the three breeds, 31 of the 82
Holsteins, 17 of the 33 Jerseys,
and 24 of the Brown Swiss
became qualified.
Mary Ann Keith from Everett,
Bedford County judged show
manship.
Larry Lohr was the ringmaster.

The Mast operation, with some
190 milk cows, 35 to 40 dry cows,
and 200 young stock, keeps an
entire family on its toes. Between
doing chores in their own and a
bam they rent, which houses 56
head of milking cows, they don’t
need to ask where the time goes.
It’s obvious.
Delvin and his wife Sharon,
their sons Dale and Wayne plus
daughters-in-law, Darlene and
Marla, have very little time to
squander.
Of itself, the Mast farm is com
prised of some 268 acres with the
tillable part limited to 150.
Another 300 acres, that they rent,
however, are used for tillable
purposes.
Jeff Bender, a hired man, does
the morning milking at 4:30 a.m.
Cove-Run Farm, belonging to
the Oren and Fapny Bender family
of Accident, Garrett County,
Maryland, with some 11 owned
and bred animals, waltzed away
with the purple banners proclaim
ing Cove-Run as the show’s pre
mier breeder and exhibitor.
Gor-Wood-D Flip Calypso, a
junior two-year old owned by Ben
Miller, Boswell, was the junior
grand champion in ' the senior
show.
His sister, Julie Miller, also
from Boswell had the junior
reserve grand champion in Milbro
Highlight Carmell, a senior two
year old.
Dan Ream, Markleton, had the
best animal bred and owned with
Pincybrook Skybuck Jag, bom on
March 10, 1993 and shown in the
dry-cow four years and under
class.
