light test of larger slaughter calves sold
fully steady. The farm calf market has
become very volatile with a major down
turn in this week’s trading. Holstein
bulls returning to feed closed 110.00
lower than last week. Suddenly, local
producers are not in the market for
calves and only a few order buyers are
active. Holstein heifer trading was
slightly slower and ended 30.00-35.00
lower.

placed first with Wesley Martin,
Ephrata, second. The judging
contest attracted almost 200
participants. Participants
judged three classes of four
cows, differing in ages from
heifer to two-year olds and aged
cows.
Jill Hoover, Lancaster’s
newly-inaugurated alternate
Dairy Princess, spoke at the
event. Because of rain the event
was moved to the barn. Children
who attended the event were
treated to an obstacle course. In
the timed event participants
drove a small riding tractor with
a wagon around a course and
finished by backing the tractor
in. Grand prize was the riding
tractor.
The event was held 34 years
ago by the John Kreider family.
