Mary Jane Copes With Livestock Success Across Shows
In 1960 Mary Jane won showmanship and fitting at Lampeter Fair after showing a grand championship steer. She led the county club to a high project score and sent her Hereford steer to the state show in Harrisburg where it was reserve champion. She placed third in state showmanship, the top honor for a girl in the contest, while recalling the 1955 district show reserve champion and championship ribbon. She balances studies for the State Nursing Board exams with training five steers at Elm Run Farm for the State Livestock Exposition in Harrisburg next week. Pennsylvania is well represented among the 35 National 4-H winners from a 43,000-member pool, with multiple county honorees and 2.3 million 4-H members attending the Congress in Chicago. PA winners receive trips, all-expense packages, and 157 scholarships totaling 65,800 dollars.
