County Fails to Place 4 H Steer As Champion to Break 6 Year Streak
Lancaster County dominated entries at the Farm Show 4 H Baby Beef Show but judge Jack Frost chose a Dauphin County steer as Grand Champion and a Northampton County steer as reserve. Lee Sweigard of Halifax won the Grand Champion with Dauphin County’s steer Amos III, selling for $137 to sponsor. Terry Shaener of Centre County won the Shorthorn breed title, while the Angus division saw Carol Ann Reichard and Dale Werner placing for Nazareth and Hanover respectively. The article notes this marks a break in Lancaster County’s six year champion run and highlights Pennsylvania bred stock winning the top prize for the first time in several years.
