QUARRYVILLE (Lancaster
Co.) Though the numbers
were down this year while the
quality remained high, the Solan
co Fair Colored Breeds Show
featured a large, 26-head class of
Ayrshires Wednesday morning
and afternoon.
Jeremy Daubert, show judge
from McElhattan, Clinton Coun
ty, chose the 3-year-old, Went
worth Farm Nampa Skye (S:
Plum-bottom Nampa BB Laser),
bred by R&B Wentworth and ex
hibited by Hanna Wentworth, as
grand champion Ayrshire.
Daubert, from Victory Acres
Brown Swiss farm and a gradu
ate of Virginia Tech, noted the
3-year-old was in tough competi
tion with the closest competitor,
a “powerful” aged cow, the
5-Year-old shown by Rebecca
Nolan. But the younger cow had
a smoother udder, he noted, with
good teat placement and seam to
the udder.
The aged cow, Dreamnol Tri
dent Freckles (S: Ardrossan EV
Kates Trident, bred by Rebecca
Nolan), was exhibited by Rebec
ca, who also won junior champi
on with a winter calf, Dreamnol
Rigil Freda (S: Covey - Palmyra
Willy Rigil-ET), bred by Rebec
ca.
Another large class, the Brown
Swiss division with 17 animals,
impressed Daubert, herdsman
for Jones Dairy Farm, Massey,
Md. Daubert enjoyed the
2-year-old, Stone Fence Emorys
Lilac (S: Victory Acres Jubilation
Emory), bred and exhibited by
Lisa Jones. The cow is “a super
dairy cow, with a super udder,
that stands really well on her
legs,” Daubert said.
Reserve Brown Swiss at Solan
co was also exhibited by Lisa, a
4-Year-old, Brothers Three Jet
way Lily (S: Forest Lawn Simon
Jetways-ET), bred by Jacob Hu
shon.
The Jersey Show included five
animals. Grand champion was
exhibited by Nicole Welk, a
spring yearling, HillacresShant
zys Shugar (S: Silver Spring
Winston), bred by Tom Arrow
smith. Reserve was a 2-year-old,
Locust-Valley Star Scotch (S: Al
theas Arrowstar), bred and
shown by Kathy Findley.
The Milking Shorthorn show
included three animals. Champi
on went to the 4-year-old, Miss
Kourtney’s Master Kricket (S:
Red Cedar Master), bred by Liz
zer Moser and shown by James
Findley. Reserve was the
3-year-old shown by James Find
ley, Miss Kourtney’s Peerless
Kassy (S: Meriville Peerless),
bred by Lizzer Moser.

Conference To Address
Wildlife Damage Management
UNIVERSITY PARK (Centre
Co.) For professionals, agency
personnel, and homeowners con
cerned with wildlife damage
management, Penn State’s Col
lege of Agricultural Sciences will
conduct a four-day conference,
“Changes in Wildlife Damage
Management for the 21st Cen
tury,” Oct. 5-8 here at The Nitta
ny Lion Inn.
“This conference will highlight
the latest techniques in wildlife
control,” said Gary San Julian,
professor of wildUfe resources.
“Information will be presented
on wildlife that cause problems
east of the Mississippi.
“For instance, geese have be
come a significant problem in
both rural and urban parts of
eastern Pennsylvania,” he said.
“They’re increasing on beaches,
grassy areas, golf courses, and
sports fields. In some areas, geese
must be kept off the reservoirs so
people can drink the water. In
Tobyhanna State Park, employ
ees use large commercial vacuum
cleaners to remove droppings on
the way to the beach. On soccer
fields, young people are coming
out in white uniforms and leav
ing with green uniforms from all
the fecal material.”
Registration for the conference
begins on Thursday, Oct. 5 at 5
p.m. (exhibitors and poster pre
senters) and 6 p.m. (other attend
ees). A reception follows from 7
to 9 p.m.
Presentations on Friday, Aug.
6 begin at 7:30 a.m. with exhibi
tor visitations and a continental
breakfast. Friday sessions will
focus on the history and future of
wildlife damage management,
future research needs and skills,
disease issues, and turkey dam
age. At 1:30 p.m., buses will leave
for a field trip to Penn State’s
Stone Valley Experimental For
est, Penn State’s Deer Research
Facility, and the Pennsylvania
State Fish Hatchery.
Saturday sessions will cover
such topics as wildlife damage in
the suburbs; deer deterrents, dis
persing cormorants; bird dam
age; capturing coyotes, bobcats,
and raccoons; wildlife at airports;
enhanced stakeholder commu
nications; perceptions of white
tailed deer abundance and dam
age; immunocontraception for
deer; urban crows; bats; beaver
damage; and squirrel deterrents.
