New Direction Holsteins Exhibit Grand Champion Of State Fall Show
(Continued from Pago A 1)
Foster Jr and John Foster in of
Petersburg.
Judge for the show was Brian
Garrison of Tiffin, Ohio.
For junior champion of the
show, Garrison selected a winter
yearling, Lilbum Stardust Lilac, a
Browndale Stardust daughter own
ed by Joseph Parker of Greenville.
It was bred by Charles Whitely &
Son. The yearling won an All-
Pennsylvania honor for Parker.
The reserve junior champion of
the show was also a winter year
ling, Windy-Knoll-View RKB
Peskie, bred and owned by Robert
Kyle Burdette, of Mercersburg. A
Juror daughter, it tied with the
junior champion for All-
Pennsylvania honors.
Both of the junior champion ani
mals were also the junior champ
ions of the youth division of the
show.
The senior and grand champions
of the youth division were both
shown by Amy Jo Hartman of Par
nell View Farm in St. Thomas,
near the Mercersburg area.
Her 8-year-old aged cow, Par
nell View Jethro Sibyl, was named
senior and grand champion of the
youth division.
The Hanover Hill Jethro daught
er also earned All-Pennsylvania
honorable mention, and was the
best bred and owned Holstein in
both the open and youth division
shows.
Ironically, on Monday, before
another judge in the state Junior
Dairy Show, Sibyl didn’t even
place in the top three in her age
class.
Hartman’s junior 3-year-old,
Parnell View Stardust Derry, also
bred and owned, was named
reserve senior and reserve grand
champion. It is a Browndale Star
dust daugther, and the dam was
Windy-Knoll-View Gold Dolly,
one she purchased locally.
Hartman is in her last year in
4-H and said the double win of the
youth division championship
made her feel “pretty good.” It was
her first win of a grand champion
ship at a state championship show.
“We are having ajierd dispersal,
so it’s even better. This is probably
the last time I show them," she
said.
The complete dispersal of 150
head of registered Holsteins, of all
ages, includes their 65-head milk
ing string. They have one Excel
lent animal (Sibyl the aged cow),
17 Very Goods and 40 Good plus,
and the herd carries a 106 BAA.
The sale is set for 10:30 a.m..

a Holstein Fall Championship Is exhibited by Amy Jo Hart*

Another highlight of Tuesday’s
18th state Fall Championship was
the Keystone 3-Year-Old Futurity,
with a first prize of at least $l,lOO.
There were nine entries and the
winner was Penn-Gate Jed FM
Abbeye, owned by John Pennings,
with the Penn-Gate Farm in Lit
tlestown. The Juniper Rotate Jed
daughter was bred by Chris Wood,
who with husband Steve and father
Bob Gitt operate Penn Gate Farm.
Penn-Gate Farm again captured
the fall championship show’s pre
mier breeder and exhibitor awards,
honors based on the number of ani
mals exhbited and how well they
placed in the show.
Another annual award made
during the state Holstein fall
championship is the George M.
Knight Jr. Total Performance
Award, a memorial award pre
sented by the surviving family in
honor of Mr. Knight.
The award is based on show
placings and lifetime production.
The winner was Wind Drift AJ
(Turn to Pag* A 42)
