ELIZABETHTOWN (Lancas
ter Co.) Approximately 180
animals competed in Eliza
bethtown’s breeding sheep show
at the recent fair, with approxi
mately 12 different breeds repre
sented in the shows. Eighty-five
lambs competed in the market
lamb competition.
Stephanie Kauffman, 11, from
Landisville won supreme cham
pion breeding sheep honors with
her Southdown aged ewe. Kauff
man, who will be in the sixth
grade, travels to her grandpar
ents’ Mount Joy farm. Her
grandparents. George and Lor
raine Lewis, see Stephanie al
most every day as she helps to
tend the almost thirty South
downs housed there.
Her duties there depend on the
time of year. “During show sea
son I walk the sheep,” said
Kauffman, “but the rest of the
time 1 help with feeding.”
Kauffman recovered from a
bike accident and a broken arm
this summer to return to the
show ring, where she has been
competing in open shows since
she was five years old. She is now
in her fourth year of 4-H.
The Southdown’s depth of rib,
clean front end. good wheel base
(elbow joint to flank area), and
bone structure placed the ewe at
the top of the class, according to
judge Lee Wagner.
“Jalen," a lamb from B & B
Livestock in Ohio, turned out to
be a winner for Sarah Boyd. The
lamb topped the classes to move
onto overall grand champion
market lamb.
A sophomore elementary edu
cation major at Millersville Uni
versity, Boyd bought Jalen on a
trip with friend and fellow sheep
ring contender Jen Zimmerman.
During Boyd’s first trip to Ohio
for a sale, she bought Jalen on
the way home, a decision which
proved to be a wise one, as the
lamb caught the eye of Wagner.
Judge Wagner, of Easton,
judged the sheep showmanship,
breeding, and market shows dur
ing the afternoon. Wagner is the
flock manager for Sunrise Farms
in Harrisburg.
According to Wagner in the
sheep show, “the quality has
taken a rise,” said Wagner. “A
lot of lamb classes today ran six
or seven deep with really good
lambs.”
