Virginia Spring Show
Virginia Spring Show Report by Terry Perotti Lam
The Virginia Spring Show was held Saturday, April 5th at the Rockingham County Fairgrounds in Harrisonburg, Virginia. Judge Justin Burdette from Pennsylvania placed 82 head on a gorgeous Spring day in the Shenandoah Valley. Numbers were up by 20 entries from last year’s show.
During the lineup for Grand Champion of the show, Judge Burdette commended the exhibitors for the quality of animals presented before him. He chose the sylish, dairy, red Four year old of Hunter McCray’s, Greenlea Mindy-Red, a Chip daughter of Bar-Lee Marker Mandy-Red-ET as Grand Champion of the show. Reserve Champion went to Ken Wan Farm’s Five Year Old entry, Twin-Gro Honey Magnifico, a Durham daughter with a beautiful udder and overall correctness. Also in close contention was the 2nd place Four Year Old, Mar-Bil Morty Gwen, exhibited by Mar-Bil Farms, who relocated to Virginia from New York in November.
