If the upcoming World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wis., is the main course for dairy, especially for those who show cattle, then the All-American Dairy Show in Harrisburg, Pa., was a nice appetizer.
Hundreds of exhibitors brought their show-worthy cows, calves and heifers to the Pennsylvania Farm Show and Expo Center last week for five days of showing, learning and camaraderie.
The show culminated with the All-American Supreme Champion Pageant on Wednesday afternoon. Hurcroft Awe Lillyann-Red, a 4-year-old Red and White by Oakfield Corners Dairy in New York, was named the supreme champion of the show.
Supreme heifer went to another Red and White, Graber Warrior Chili-Red-ET, exhibited by Chris and Jennifer Hill of Maryland, and Tim and Sharyn Abbott of Vermont.
Supreme best bred and owned was Oakfield Solomon Sunset-ET, also from Oakfield Corners Dairy.
