Judges will tell at the Keystone International Lives tock Exposition Shepherd’s Lead Line Competition to be held on Saturday, October 6, 1996 pre cisely at NOON at the Farm Show Complex. The objectives of this class arc to present a class of yearling ewes in a most attractive manner and give spectators an opportunity to see the best of the sheep industry. The normal procedure at a Livestock Show is for the animal to be all primped and lovely, but in our Lead Line Compeition the Leadsman is also in the limelight. Both are to be dressed fashionably in their best wool outfit. (At least 80% wool). Not just another pretty face can steal our show. Our herdsperson must not only look terrific, but our sheep must also show their model ing talents. The contestants and the sheep must be able to work together in the ring. Shepherd’s Lead Line The Lead Line Competition has been around K.I.L.E. for years and each year it gets easier for our contestants to find their Wool Garments. We help point out the virtues of wool. It is a product that has been around forever and in recent years is making a well deserved comeback. Saturday, The Keystone International Livestock Exposition is sponsored by the Pennsylvania Livestock Association in cooperation with the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture and the Pennsylvania Farm Products Show Commission.
