Winter Roundup. Purchasing the champion lamb for
Lebanon Valley Farmers Bank are Sean McKinney, left,

LEBANON (Lebanon
Co.)-Winter Roundup of the
Lebanon County 4-H Live
stock Club was held recently
at the fairgrounds in Leba
non. The roundup is held
each year to help members
market the animals not going
to the Pennsylvania Farm
Show. Each member may tag
up to four market lambs or
hogs, but can only show one
of each. This show and sale
enables members to put more
than one on feed and still
have a market for extras.
The Roundup included 14
lambs and 47 market hogs,
all of good quality, as judged
by Wendell Landis of Lancas
ter County.
The three classes of lambs
included champion light
weight shown by Susan Leed,
champion medium weight
shown by Kurt Fleener,
champion heavyweight
shown by Blaine Brown.
Brown’s lamb went on to
become grand champion,
with the reserve heavyweight
shown by Kyle Fleener taking
reserve champion. Lamb
showmanship winners were
Blaine Brown, Kyle Fleener,
