A3O-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, August 8, 1998 VERNON ACHENBACH JR. Lancaster Fanning Staff NORTH CORNWALL (Leba non Co.) A 4-year-old Holstein owned by Dale-Pride Holsteins of Annville last week was named grand champion of the Lebanon Area Fair open division Holstein show, held at the Lebanon Fair grounds, in North Cornwall Township. Not only did the Dale Hostetler family show the grand champion, 4-year-old Jamesholm Ram Almond A, to win the Albert Moy er Memorial Award, but repeated a 1996 fete of capturing both grand champion titles. The reserve grand was senior 2-year-old Dale-Pride Mandel Carmel, also named best bred and owned of the show. It was bred and owned by Dale Hostetler. Dale and Thelma Hostetler’s sons Alan, Jeffery, and Kurt Hos tetler exhibited and owned some of the animals included in the farm’s pedigree. The Hostetler families involved with Dale-Pride Holsteins also were winners of the show’s pre mier exhibitor and premier breeder awards, a dual honor that has eluded them since they won it three years in a row, from 1990-92, and several years before that. In the meantime, they have been consis tently at the halter of at least one of the annual Holstein show’s champion animals. The grand champion was also the recipient of the best bred and owned award, presented by Gregg Morrissey of Morrissey Insurance Inc. The junior champion of the show was a winter yearling, Son nen Stardust Kaybee, bred and owned by Adam J. Sonnen, of Son nen Holsteins in Richland. (Adam and his wife Lisa Sonnen own Son nen Holsteins and recently served as a host for part of the state Hols tein Association’s junior judging school.) Adam showed the grand champ ion last year, an aged cow, that was bred by his father Malcom. The reserve junior champion of the show was a winter calf, Sonny lee Luke Leah, owned by Nelson Ebersole of Lebanon, bred by Harvey E. “Sonny” Bomgardncr of Lebanon. The judge of the show was Michael Health of Westminster, Pa. Heath remarked that the show was challenging, and noted the depth in the classes that kept him on his toes, especially in placing some of the classes. For years, show judges at the Lebanon open division Holstein show have noted it for its quality and size.
