BR. BT PRS SP" NH HNN _---- 22 - PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, October 8, 1991 I aa gr te et RR ge RE NSE TE Eh | 120 "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" Missy continues winning streak 4-H dairy cow puts in good showing at local and By Gillian Barfoot At a time when most kids are home relaxing after school, Graham Carnegie is spending quality time with his champion Holstein calf, Ronbeth Star Missy. "I walk the calf one hour a day," he says, describing how he has to watch her diet and continue handling her in prep- aration for the next show. Missy lives at Holtbyholme Farm, which belongs to Gra- ham's uncle, Dr. Roger Holtby and his grandfather, Murray Holtby. Dr. Holtby is a special- ist in embryo tranplants, and when Graham asked for a Hol- stein calf for his 4-H club pro- ject, his uncle made sure she would come from a good family. "I had other calves to choose from," says Graham, but he is glad he chose Missy, who was born last December. Her sire is Hanoverhill Starbuck. He spent two months train- ing her for her first show at the Port Perry Fair and it paid off. At the 4-H achievement day at the Port Perry Fair on the Labor Day weekend she won Champion Calf and Graham won Champion Showman. She was also entered in the open Holstein show where she won Reserve Champion. The team did just as well at the 4-H Beaverton Fair on Sept. 13, when she won Cham- pion Calf and Graham won Champion Showman. At the Lindsay Fair Missy continued her winning streak. In the 4-H class on Sept. 18 she won Champion Calf, and she won Reserve Champion in the open Holstein class on Sept. 21. Last week's competition was the toughest she has been in so far. A neighbor and experi- enced showman, John Buckley, took her down to the World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wis- conson, to see how she would do against 400 other Holsteins from all over the world. #9 FSF SI INISISN ISIN INISN IS ~; Jean E.

In fact, this 4-H Club pro- ject has been a champion at every fair she has entered so far, winning an impressive display of trophies and ribbdns. Missy was in fine form on Friday, winning the first-place ribbon in the intermediate calf class and placing fourth in the Junior Holstein Parade of Champions. Then at the end of October, Graham will take her up to the Peterborough Championship Show, where she is entered in the open and 4-H shows. And the final show of the year will be the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto, where she will be entered in the 4-H Scotia- bank Hays Classic, as well as the open class, where she will meet tough competition from calves from across Canada. "To go to the Royal (4-H class) you have to be one of the top six calves in the area," ex- plains Graham. "Last year there were 190 calves in the 4-H class." Graham has been showing dairy calves at the Royal Win- ter Fair each year since 1988. "The first year, I was not very ," he admits, but adds that he's learned a lot from 4- MSZ ZZ 2323223 Xa a a a aes Winners of the gift certificates for the Country Decorating and Collectibles show are: Foidoarna, Dale Forsyth 15130 Simcoe St., Port Perry 160 Queen St., Port Perry 985-8902 ele sasvstatetstat atest anatan A evatatatana aval at aaa an H. He says a lot of the credit should go to. the leaders of the 4-H Port Perry Dairy Club, Earl Phoenix and Brad How- sam. Graham is looking forward to showing more calves in the 4-H classes until he turns 21, and says he hopes to attend the University of Guelph and take the two-year agriculture course. "I want to be a dairy farmer," he says. And as for Ronbeth Star Missy, the trophies and rib- bons make her more valuable, "but she's not for sale," says Graham. He is hoping to show her for a few years to come, as long as she continues to change for the better as she grows into a mature cow. And even though she will" join his uncle's dairy herd at Holtbyholme, Graham won't neglect his champion calf. "This one will get a little more special treatment," he says.
