KIMBERTON (Chester Co.) —
Jersey competition at the Kimber
ton Community Fair was a night to
remember for Tarik Gaffney.
“It’s one of my goals come
true,” said the 18-year-old who
works for Top-O-Hill Farm, own
ed by his mentor Mildred Seeds.
In addition to being named the
champion showman and fitter,
Gaffney, who has five of his own
Jerseys, swept championship and
reserve titles in both Jersey junior
and senior competitions and the
4-H grand champion overall.
“My goal is to be as good as
showman as my 4-H leader,
Mildred Seeds,” Gaffney said of
his employer.
Seeds, who has Idng been
known as the outstanding Jersey
breeder and exhibitor, won champ
ion and reserve titles in the open
show of Jersey competition.
‘This show is the best I ever
judged,” said Warren Buckman,
who is a Holstein breeder. ‘This
Jersey quality beats most other
breed shows hands down. These
Jerseys have good quality frames,
impressive dairyness, and udders.”
In the junior 4-H show, Gaf
fney’s senior heifer calf Admiral
Peaches of Top-O-Hill was named
champion and also reserve in the
open show. Top-O-Hill Imperial
Tammy was the reserve in the
junior 4-H show.
In the senior 4-H show, Gaf
fney’s Top-O-Hill Imperial Trink
et, a junior 2-year-old, was
selected champion, which went on
to become the 4-H grand champion
overall. The reserve was Top-O-
Hill Admiral Lucky Penny.
The open show, which runs
simulpmeously with the 4-H show,
was dominated with Seed’s show
string. Her junior champion was a
senior heifer calf named Tpp-O-
Hill Imperial Thread.
Senior champion in the open
show was Seeds’ aged cow Top-O-
Hill Admiral Theda J, which la ted
captured the title as grand champ
ion overall of the open show.
Reserve senior champion was
3-year-old Top-O-Hill Juno
Tonya.
Other showmanship and fitting
champions in addition to Gaffney
in the senior division were Vicky
Hewitt, who placed first in fitting
in the age 12- 14-year-old division.
