LEBANON (Leba
non Co.) Recently
Lebanon Fairgrounds
hosted the 45th South
east District Junior
Dairy Show. Although
the classes were gener
ally a smaller, more
manageable size, qual
ity was not sacrificed
at the show.
The grand and
senior champion spot
in the Holstein class
which included “great
young cows” said
judge Bob Knutsen,
went to Rachel Krall’s
three-year-old DA-Sa-
RA Emory Sidney.
Because of the past
calf and milk contri
butions of the older
cows they “deserved
to be in the center,”
said Knutsen, who
highlighted the win
ning cow’s udder ca
pacity also. “Emory
Sidney” also won the
best animal bred and
owned division.
Krall, who recently
graduated from Cedar
Crest High School,
will attend Ship
pensburg University in
the fall to study biol
ogy. She has been in
the show ring since she
was seven years old.
Daniel Eberly, who
attends Cedar Crest
High School, showed
the reserve Senior and
reserve grand cham
pion from the six years
or older class. He has
four years experience
in the show ring.
“We had excep
tional Ayrshire class
with lots of strength
there. We also had a
good Jersey champ,
I’m anxious to see
what she does at
states,” said Ronald
Daubert, Brown Swiss
breeder, who judged
the colored breeds in
the show.
“We had a good
representation of the
different breeds,’’ said
Christine Williams,
chairperson of the
show committee. “I
think the quality is up.
The type of animals in
the classes are the de
sirable quality at a dis-
People are
bringing their top ani
mals because they re
alize that to go on to
states, that’s what they
need to be taking.
They need a blue here
at the district show to
go on to states.”
One of the assets of
this show is the
smaller size. “Classes
are a manageable size
so nobody gets lost,”
said Williams. “That’s
important to kids. Par
ents want to bring
their kids here because
they won’t get lost,
they’ll be recognized
and the kids will want
to go back again.”
Rachel Krall, Leba

champion, also the
grand champion and

owned. Daniel Eberly,

In the colored
breeds, Ayrshire

owned went to Daryl
Maulfair, Jonestown.
Maulfair’s animal also
earned the overall best
animal bred and
owned of the colored
breeds. Reserve senior

grand champion went
to Rebecca Nolan of
Cochranville. Jennifer
Maulfair, Jonestown,
showed the junior

Cochranville placing
with the reserve junior
champion Ayrshire.

Has much higher quality than triticale or wheat if cut before boot stage.
Is actually a better feed than alfalfa. Has more digestible fiber and sugars.
Does not head out until approximately May 12. Cut your alfalfa & GREEN SPIRIT first week of May and the
GREEN SPIRIT will be ready again 3 weeks later. Yes, that's 2 cuttings and still time to plant corn.
So if you have moisture in the ground, no-till GREEN SPIRIT into your worn out alfalfa fields after 3rd cutting
and still get a good cutting or two this fall, and lots of tonnage next spring.
