Lancaster Farming Staff
QUARRYVILLE (Lancaster
Co.) About 100 dairy animals
were on display Wednesday at
the Lancaster County Holstein
and 4-H Dairy Shows conducted
at the Solanco Fairgrounds.
Emerging as grand champion
Holstein was 3-year-old Te-Lou
Astre “Delightful,” a name that
got no argument from Holstein
judge David Castrogiovanni.
“She’s the most balanced, most
correct cow in the show,” Castro
giovanni said. “She also had the
best udder of the show. Today
was her day.”
Delightful is owned and exhib
ited by Mark Webb, 16, of the
Kennard Dale FFA in southern
York County. Webb said he pur
chased the cow as a heifer from
Elizabeth Finke of Indiana. De
lightful was nominated Jr. All-
American in 1999, Webb said.
Reserve grand champion went
to Coredale Jed Cimba, a
4-year-old cow exhibited by Jus
tin Burdette and owned by Steve
Wagner and Roy Thompson.
In the 4-H Holstein show,
grand champion cow went to
Hilltop-Heritage Sky Chime, a
3-year-old owned and exhibited
by Crystal Brubaker. One of Lan
caster County’s Dairy Ambassa
dors, Crystal, 17, said she has
been showing cows since she was
about 10.
Reserve champion in the 4-H
Holstein show went to an entry
from the same farm family.
Blake Brubaker, 14, held the hal
ter of 6-year-old Boreview BC
Tarah.
