champion winner. Not only is
this his first year with dairy beef,
“Buddy” is Jevin’s first live
stock project.
Jevin, in the sixth grade at
Manheim Christian Day School,
received “Buddy” from the lot
tery system which disperses the
calves at the outset of the 4-H
project.
“My cousin did it last year
and I decided it would be a neat
project,” he said. Buddy is
Jevin’s only animal, but he
hopes to increase numbers and
have three animals to partici
pate in several fairs next year.
Jevin is the son of Gerry and
Melva Kready. Nicole Kready,
their daughter, won first place in
the FFA light heavyweight beef
cattle show. The family owns a
100-acre farm, which hosts both
layers and heifers.
Jeff Nolt, 17, a senior at Terre
Hill Mennonite High School,
won reserve champion in the
dairy beef competition. Jeff
works on the 250-acre home
farm, which houses hogs and
feeds ISO Holstein bulls.
Jeffs steer, “Jerry,” came
from an area farm. He also re
ceived the calf from the lottery
system. Like Jevin, Jeff is a first
year exhibitor in the dairy beef
competition. Jeff has eight years
of experience with swine.

“As a cow-calf producer I’m
concerned about frame, what
suits the industry, and the
lowest cost of production,” said
the judge, who decided Joelyn’s
steer was closest to fitting the
bill.
Reserve champion winner
Lisa Pfautz also won with a 4-H
animal, an animal which won in
the light heavyweight division.
Lisa, 20, is employed at a local
dairy farm.
“Gert” and Todd Zurin went
to the head of the showmanship
classes, as Todd took home over
all champion showman honors.
Todd, IS, goes to nearby Man
heim Central High School. A
six-year veteran of 4-H, Todd
has also shown swine and sheep,
besides his two years of experi
ence with dairy beef.
He is the son of Gary and
Judy Zurin, Mount Joy, who are
involved in helping at the beef
ring during the Manheim Fair.
The 30-acre Zurin farm hosts
crops and 35-40 head of beef
cattle.
“Don’t save showmanship for
showmanship class,” urged Bru
baker. “As soon as you walk in
the ring, you’re on the job. Your
job is to make your calves look
better. You should show just as
hard for the type classes as you
