“I was pretty surprised,”
Ryan, Manheim, said of the
lamb named Rader.
Jen Zimmerman's South
down’s ewe took the title for
grand champion breeding sheep
overall breeds with Andrew Ger
hart’s Suffolk, the reserve.
For the first time, Adam Zurin, Mount
Joy, showed champion and reserve lambs
in the non-sale division. Adam said the
bred and owned Suffolk crosses named
Brute and Whoopie, are not related. He
will decide later on which to show at the
Pennsylvania Farm Show and which one
to retain for breeding purposes.
Judge Matt Sellers, York Suffolk and
Hampshire breeder, said that of all the
shows he judged this year. New Holland
had the most competitive showmanship
classes. Trophies were presented to Sarah
Boyd, senior; Ryan Donough, intermedi
ate; and Erin Felak, 1-3 years experience.
In addition to Jen’s Southdown and An
drew’s Suffolk, other breeding sheep win
ners include the following: Cheviot cham
pion ewe and ram, Jimmy Zimmerman;
Corriedale champion ewe and ram, Travis
Redmond; Dorset champion ewe and ram,
Radell Peters; Romney champion ewe and
ram, Mark Brennen; Shropshire champion
ewe and ram, Travis Redmond. Jen also
showed the champion ram and ewe horn
ed Dorset, her brother Jimmy had the
champion ram in the Southdown division,
which went on to take grand champion
ram over all breeds. Radell Peter’s Polled
Dorset took reserve champion ram overall
breeds.

NEW HOLLAND (Lancaster
Co.) Interjected among the
county show circuit exhibitors
were some new faces at the New
Holland Sheep Show, Wednes
day evening. Regardless, the
champions for market lambs and
breeding sheep were a repeat of
the previous week’s competition
at the Ephrata Fair.
Walking away with the grand
champion market trophy was
Sarah Boyd, with the reserve
going to Ryan Bollinger, Man
heim. Although Sarah, Ephrata,
used the same lamb that won the
non-sale champion honors last
week, it was the first time Ryan
had showed his homebred Suf
folk -cross that took the reserve
placing.
