Shorthorn; David Castrogiovanni
of Montrose who judged Ayrshire
and Brown Swiss breeds; and Bill
Taylor of Marcellas, N.Y., who
judged Jerseys and Guernseys.
While the Huffs own the
supreme champion, the honor was
also enjoyed by other family mem
bers, especially Janet and Eli
zabeth Jenkins of Toughkenamon.
Janet Jenkins is Patricia Huff’s
mother and Elizabeth is Patricia’s
sister, and the families work
together somewhat on the Huffs*
farm where they milk 70 head of
registered Jerseys.
It was the 22nd year that the
Jenkins-Huff family has exhibited
at the Farm Show and the fourth
grand champion Jersey and first
supreme champion they war.
The supreme cow, CLV Grave
Miss Fatima, was a repeat Farm
Show grand champion Jersey. She
won the grand champion tide last
year but didn’t make the final
selection until this year.
Ironically, while a just
freshened cow can sometimes
show edema of the udder during a
show to hindrance. Miss Fatima
calved a week prior to the show
and still won.
Apparently, she comes from
good stock. Her dam was the grand
champion of the 1990 Farm Show
and Miss Fatima won two Pennsyl
vania All-American Dairy Show
titles.
She also has proven herself as a
daily producer. For he: last lacta
tion, while a 4-year-old, she posted
a 305-day record of 17,300 pound
s, with 865 pounds fat and 3.9 per
cent protein.
According to the family. Miss
Fatima will probably return again
to the Farm Show.

1,667 pounds.
This year, the Rcasners showed
