Exposition Opens with Early Winners at State Show
Nearly 3,000 head of beef cattle swine and sheep filled the State Farm Show building in Harrisburg as the first Pennsylvania National Livestock Exposition began. Fred Frey of Quarryville led the court with the on foot champion steer in the carcass class, while Penn State and Lancaster County breeders captured several top awards. Judges praised the facilities as among the best, with Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr. calling the event terrific and the largest beef breeding show in the East.
