ous size and scale” of the cow,
which has a “really good udder.”
He spoke about the cow’s body rib
and how confident she moved on
her feet
Exhibitor Jim Hostetler pur
chased the cow this past year from
Brian Piela, Bernards ton. Mass.
Hostetler said this is the second
timft in a row he captured the New
Holland dairy show

CLINTON, N.J. - When
Lebanon resident Robert
LeCompte began farming his 85-
acre property near the Round
Valley Reservoir, he noticed
water collected on the site in a
swale running through the prop
erty.
Thirty years ago, an entre
preneur like LeCompte might
have addressed the problem by
dumping tons of 511 dirt on the
eroded, unsightly spot.
But at the end of the 20th
century, with more than half

hurst Farm, Strasburg. The cow
was shown by Harold Welk.
Burdette said the reserve, a
“dairy kind of cow,” was “high and
wide in the udder.” Stonehurst was
represented at the show by Harold
and Donald Welk.
Burdette awarded an honorable
mention to Benjamin Mickey for
the 7-year-old cow, Rohart Star
dom Dena, rated VG-87, which
also won this year’s supreme
champion at the South Mountain
Fair and the grand at the South
Central District Show, according
to the show catalog.
Mickey also won best udder,
fresh. Jim Hostetter jacked up best
udder, dry.
Burdette told those watching the
show that this “is certainly a nice
assembly of cows before you
today, folks.”
The supreme was purchased by
Daniel Albright, Landisburg, for
$B,OOO.
The reserve was purchased by
Todd Lohr for $4,700.

584,000 acres lost to develop
ment, LeCompte decided to give
Mother Nature a helping hand.
The result: Hunterdon
County’s first wetlands creation
project and the restoration of a
full half acre of this unique nat
ural resource. What was once a
soil erosion problem during
heavy runoff is now the site of
two quarter-acre wetland pools,
and the new home of nearly 700
fish, waterfowl, amphibians and
reptiles commonly found in New
Jersey wetlands.
