days prior to Tuesday’s show, but
had won all the dry cow classes in
which Tara entered the cow this
past show seasoi\.

Kocher (breeder of Tara’s champ
ion), of Pennsylvania Fumance.
Both open division intermediate
champions were also the youth
division intermediate champions.
The junior champion of theopen
