Here’s some of the latest news from the 43rd All-American Dairy Show. Meet Justin and Claire Burdette. He grew up on a Holstein farm in Mercersburg, Pa., and she on a Jersey farm in Clear Brook, Va. Their paths would eventually cross and a new generation of farm kids would be born.
Their common interests in breeding and showing cows brought them together more frequently as time passed and before long, they began dating. They were married in October 2005 at Waverly. Just before their wedding, a fellow dairyman told them, “If you two can do together what you’ve each done for your individual breeds, this industry is going to be even better.”
When the dust settled in the Milking Shorthorn ring, there were two farm families that had nothing to do but smile. Kuszlyk Cattle Co. of Batavia N.Y. and Hard Core Farms of New Enterprise, Pa. dominated this year’s 43rd All-American Milking Shorthorn Show. Even though these two farms won a total of 16 of the 24 classes, a newcomer walked away with the top honor. (More)
When Raechel Kilgore and Emily Yeiser were growing up in the dairy industry, one in Pennsylvania and one in Maryland, they probably didn’t expect their lives to become so parallel. Now both of them are seniors at Penn State majoring in Animal Science and are on the Penn State dairy judging team. (More)
“This champion is a lovely-uddered individual, with a tremendous frame,” said Judge Curtis Day of Lakeville, Minn. Day’s associate judge was Chris Lahmers of Thornville, Ohio. The judging duo then selected Spring River Royal Happy, the second place 4-Year-Old Reserve Senior and Grand Champion, owned by Ayars and Marion of Land of Living Farm in Mechanicsburg, Ohio. (More)
