A24-LancBster Farming, Saturday, August 29, 1998 Kutztown Site For Second Southeast District Dairy Show VERNON ACHENBACH JR- Lancastcr Fanning Staff KUTZTOWN (Berks Co.) The second 1998 South east District Daily Show was held Tuesday at the Kutztown Fair grounds in Kutztown. The show saw a large turnout for Holsteins, as well as the allowance of two additional, but non program dairy breed shows one for the Lineback breed and one for the Red & White breed, which can be, but doesn't neces sarily have to be, registered as a Holstein. According to retired Chester County Daily Agent Walter Wur ster, who volunteered to help announce the show, the decision to allow the additional, non-program breed shows was done because the district show committee felt the show program is designed to bene fit youth, not breed organizations. He said that even though the two breeds Lineback and Red & White (Red & White is somewhat of a controversial distinction as a separate breed) may not be recog nized within the state or nation as daily breeds of significance, the fact that local youth are using them in official 4-H projects and breed ing programs is enough justifica tion to allow them to be exhibited at the district level. The turnout of Holstein junior aged animals was especially strong for a district show. The winter calf class had 22 entries, with eight qualifying for the state show. The other breeds, Jersey, Brown Swiss, Ayrshire and Guernsey also had respectable showings, and there were several Milking Shor thorn exhibited. David Smith of Palmyra, past president and currently executive secretary of the Pennsylvania Dairymen's Association, judged Red & White, Brown Swiss, Guernsey, Jersey, and Ayrshire cattle. David Castrogiovanni of Mon trose judged the Holstein, Line back and Milking Shorthorn breeds. There are two qualifying shows offered in the Southeast District, one held earlier in July at the Leba non Area Fairgrounds. The two shows were the district's 4-H and FFA shows, and continued as the strength of each seems to support doing so. In addition more youth from eastern counties seem to show at the Kutztown show, while those closer to Lebanon County seem to attend the earlier show.
