Lancaster Fanning Staff HARRISBURG (Dauphin Co.) —No one was certain of whether or not a record was set Monday with 780 dairy cattle exhi bited in the state youth dairy show, but the amount of participation was one of the most in memory, according to show organizers. The 41st state youth dairy show actually six different breed shows was held in the Large Arena of the state Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg, in conjunction with the Pennsylvania All-American Dairy Show event The PA ADS features six nation al dairy cattle shows, the Pennsyl vania Holstein Association’s Fall Championship Show, and the state youth dairy show. There are other competitions as well, including an Invitational youth Dairy Cattle Judging Con test, as well as a dairy management contest, and state dairy judging forum (competition).

However, this year that was changed. The mature, milk bearing animals were exhibited first, before the junior-aged ani mals of the breed.
