YORK (York Co.) Angus
cattle snagged supreme titles in
the annual York Fair’s beef
breeding shows, with the tradi
tional black cattle breed taking
the open class honors, while the
junior division was topped by a
Red Angus.
Cliff Orley, Lebanon County
owner of Keystone Cattle Serv
ice, officiated at the beef competi
tion conducted at the fair from
Sept. 8-10.
Junior exhibitor Kyle Grim
bested all other breed champions
in the final run-off for supreme
heifer, taking the coveted banner
for the family’s Beaver Creek
Farms, East Berlin. The supreme
heifer is BCA Scaara Erica KOI,

Veal Industry Leaders Unite For Long Range Planning
DENVER, Colo. Economic
pressures on the American veal
industry have brought industry
leaders together in a joint long
range planning effort.
The planning group, gathering
at the 2001 Cattle Industry Sum
mer Conference in Denver this
week, includes leadership from
the American Veal Association
(AVA), the Joint Veal Commit
tee, and from the top five veal
producer states of Pennsylvania,
New York, Indiana, Ohio and
Wisconsin.
Led by facilitator Wayne Ta
larzyk, an emeritus professor of
marketing at The Ohio State
University, the leadership group
is developing a three-year plan
for 2002-2004. They plan to con
tinue their discussions at the No
vember Board meeting of the
American Veal Association and
hope to present a final plan at the
beef industry’s annual meeting
next February.
“It’s important for us to work
together as an industry to estab-
and Kyle’s first bred-and-owned
animal of the seven in his herd.
Kyle, 15, has been exhibiting beef
for about four years.
Fellow junior exhibitor Kurt
Long, Airville, duplicated the
Angus effort on the bull side, tak
ing supreme honors with the
homebred yearling LVA Ace,
born May 2000. The TC Stock
man 365-sired bull also took su
preme honors a few weeks prior
at the Queen Anne’s County fair,
Maryland, and was champion
and best junior bred-and-owned
at the Angus Breeder’s Show
conducted earlier in the summer
in Huntingdon County.
As the junior division show
wrapped up, Kelly Hain, 19, and
her bred-and-owned Red Angus
heifer “Brandy” got the nod for
lish a veal industry long-range
plan,” says Joint Industry Veal
Committee Chairman Dennis
Snyder.
“It’s also important we have
industry representation from
throughout the top veal-produc
ing states,” adds AVA President
John Landin.
“The veal industry is in need
of a road map,” says Talarzyk.
“Good long-range planning will
allow us to anticipate challenges
and oppor
tunities, and
to develop
strategies
that will use
these ‘chal
-leng i n g
changes’ to
our advan
tage.”
In many
ways, cur
rent plan
ning efforts
are an ex-
the supreme title. It was Hain’s
first supreme win and a fitting fi
nale to her last year as a junior
division exhibitor. Hain also
earned the Jack Myers memorial
trophy award, given annually in
memory of the late long-time beef
breeder. Ironically, Myers was
one of the area’s first Red Angus
breeders and winning heifer
Brandy’s bloodlines trace back to
his breeding herd.
Contending breed heifer cham
pions include, Cory Thompson,
Wellsville, Angus; April Daugh
erty, York, Hereford; and Cas
sandra Hake, Etters, Simmental.
Shane Miller took grand cham
pion honors of the junior division
market steer show, earning the
top prize with his 1,350-pound
heavyweight class winner. Re
serve champion junior market
steer was exhibited by Amanda
Thompson, with her medium
weight class winner “Goofy.”
Prospect steers, a special class
for younger animals being raised
for Farm Show competition in
January, was won by Cassandra
Hake, with the first place light
weight entry.
Showmanship competition
wrapped up with senior Herman
Hake, Etters, named the top fit
ter, with Kelly Hain, the reserve
champion winner. Other age
group winners were Hope Long,
Airville; Jamie Welsh, East Ber
lin; and Kim Long, Airville.
Kyle Grim, East Berlin, was
named champion fitter, with
Kelly Hain again taking the re
serve champion award. Other fit
ting age class winners were Kurt
Long, Airville, and Brooke Kee
ney, Felton.
