Berks Annual Roundup
(Continued from Page A 22)
Cathryn (Cathy to friends) wants to return as a leader
someday, to “be there to share what I have learned.”
Cathy, a 2002 graduate of Tulpehocken High School, is
taking general business classes at Reading Area Commu
nity College, and hopes to attend Penn State to major in
ag business.
Cathy said “the best things about (involvement in 4-H)
are all the friends and family I have had. Our leaders real
ly helped me.”
Cathy said that she began showing at Reading Fair
when she was 8 years old, with all three species sheep,
hogs, and cattle.
Kristy Dietrich, also a Tulpehocken High School grad
uate and a freshman at Penn State in animal science,
began showing at Kutztown when she was 10, according
to her sister, Kelly. Kelly noted her sister would be show
ing at Farm Show.
Kristy exhibited a homebred crossbred steer at the
roundup. The same steer won champion at Kutztown,
Oley, Reading, and Allentown fairs.
About 100 bidders were signed up at the start of the
sale late last week.
Here are photo results of the sale.
