Sam Taff/Daily Correspondent Sam Taff/Daily Correspondent Bethany Gochenour, 16, of Lebanon Church, poses with her market heifer while preparing for the Ethan Gochenour, 14, walks his show pig at his Lebanon Church farm recently. Shenandoah County Fair.
Sibling pair prepare for Fair weighing just 30 pounds. When they come in, he’ll work to get them to market weight while maintaining the showmanship and the lean muscle it will take to win a ribbon.
By Sam Taff Daily correspondent
A
s you crest the hill that leads into the Gochenour farm, trees lend the eyes to the beautiful landscape nestled between the mountains west of Lebanon Church in Shenandoah County.
Youth who show their animals at the fair are judged in two categories. Market is the animal’s overall health and appearance. Showmanship has as much to do with the child showing the animal as the animal itself.
A long way from the roar of traffic, where the early 19th century farm sits, crops quietly rustle in the late summer breeze.
Animals judging high in market categories mean more money when the animal is sold. For the youth working with the animal for months it’s typically the showmanship that brings the proud smile.
The family has more than 600 acres where they grow corn and grain and raise cattle, pigs and goats.
“You can’t enter these animals for the money. If you are in it for that you are in it for the wrong reason,” said Gochenour. Hard work and dedication to the animal is what teaches youth the important character traits they will use throughout their lives.
The key to success of the farm, besides the weather, is family. At the Gochenour farm, youth will carry on the tradition started before tractors offered relief to the back-breaking work. Kim Gochenour said she and her husband Jeff hope Bethany and Ethan will help keep the farm alive.
Both Bethany and Ethan spend about three hours each day feeding, grooming and training with their animals.
“They were always out doing stuff, they started bottle feeding the cattle when they were little,” said Gochenour.
When fair week rolls around they will spend all day at the fairgrounds.
She and her husband have never pushed farm work on Bethany, 16, and Ethan, 14. Their children gained an appreciation on their own.
“It’s a lot of fun. We get there around 6 a.m. and we’re there until about 10 p.m. at night,” Bethany said.
Unlike the generations before them, they have a vast amount of knowledge at their fingertips thanks to search engines that can answer questions instantly. However, no amount of website searches gives these two the firsthand knowledge that comes with working around animals every day.
It isn’t all work at the fair though. There is always time for a little fun. “The executive committee at the fair always has something going on for us to enjoy. This year they are having a barn dance Thursday night for all the exhibitors,” Bethany explained.
The teens also pick up needed information from the 4-H mentors and school Future Farmers of America advisors. To keep track of what they put into the farm each day, the two work on journals.
The week at the fair ends with the market sale. Each exhibitor gets a chance to sell two of their animals. “When you sell them it’s the worst part, but it’s the best part too,” Ethan said. Although the animal goes to market it’s a chance for farmers to see their hard work earn a reward and to see how much their animal is worth.
Day in and day out they work on the farm, but it was an uncle who asked Bethany six years ago if she wanted to show her goats at the Shenandoah County Fair. By showing animals at the fair the Gochenours discovered there is more to a farm than just filling the trough each day.
The more work they put into putting an excellent animal to market the better the pay off for the animal at the sale.
Through 4-H and FFA they both keep records of their work, including hours and money they put into their animals. Although the fair only lasts about a week, the work involved in showing an animal at the fair can last an entire year. Bethany and Ethan got their steers and heifers last fall. They have shown cattle, goats and pigs at the fair every year, but it’s easy to see that goats are their favorite. They raise them on the farm and sell them to other children interested in raising and showing goats. Their goats can be seen at fairs up and down the Shenandoah Valley. “Goats are pretty easy,” their mother explained. For children interested in showing at the fair she recommends goats for beginners. “You just need a little fenced in area in your backyard.” It’s that ease of care that has goats on the rise at many fairs, as they are starting to outnumber sheep. This year at the fair the Gochenours will be set up in an area traditionally set for cattle. “They are a lot cuter [than sheep], they have more personality and they are funny,” Gochenour said with a smile. Despite the family goat business, Ethan has a preference to show pigs at the fair. “They are the easiest,” Ethan said while watching for his mom and sister’s reaction. “You don’t have to wash them, you just walk them around the ring and they are tame, they are just like a puppy.” Ethan’s pigs arrive at the farm as early as April,

A year of effort culminates in fair exhibitions By Sam Taff Daily correspondent
Saturday, but livestock judging runs all week.
E
ach year the Shenandoah County Fair is a place where local exhibitors can show their crafts and livestock to the rest of the county.
With help from local 4-H clubs, Future Farmers of America clubs, the county extension office and the fair executive board, youth and adults get a chance to show off their talents.
Fairgoers gather to look at the animals raised by local youths and the food and crafts of area residents who try their hand at getting a blue ribbon.
Sherry Heishman, Central High School FFA advisor, said she has learned the value of the program from the years her own children have shown livestock at the fair.
It’s a lot of hard work for hundreds of exhibitors, but it’s also a job for judges and fair officials.
“From a teaching standpoint it shows the responsibility and knowledge,” she said.
The culmination of their hard work is the first Saturday of the fair when exhibitors bring their animals and projects to the fairgrounds for judging. For crafts and food the judging takes place
“As a parent [the program] shows the kids how to feed and when to feed to get the animal to market weight,” Heishman added. “It’s a program that needs to be supported by the community. I think
we take for granted how many people don’t know where their food comes from.” Paul Fravel, a local parent whose son will enter the youth arts and crafts categories, agreed. “He is really excited about the anticipation of seeing how well his work did.” The 96th Shenandoah County Fair will take place from Aug. 23 to 31 at 300 Fairground Road, Woodstock. Anyone interested in entering items in the fair should check the fair’s website at www.shencofair.com. Exhibits are dropped off at the fairgrounds the first Saturday morning of the fair and they are judged that afternoon. For more information about the fair, call 540-459-3867. The box office phone is 540-459-7300.
But like their mother said, it’s not about the money, it’s the fruit of the labor for these youth. “It’s a little sad for me,” Bethany said with a smile. “I put a lot of work into it. I’d like the chance to eat it myself.” Bethany won the reserve grand champion award in 2007 for her goat in the Shenandoah County Fair. Ethan won the reserve grand champion goat award in 2010 at the state fair. Despite her brother besting her, Bethany said, “I was happy for him.” He showed the goat, but it was the family’s goat business that produce the champion. “I’ll admit,” Ethan told her, “I learned from you.” Both teens are involved in the Lebanon Church 4-H Club and Seven Bends 4-H Shooting Education Club. Bethany will serve as vice president of the Strasburg High School FFA chapter this year and Ethan will be junior parliamentarian for the chapter. Although Ethan hasn’t figured out what he will do when his showing years are over. Bethany is closer to the end of her career at the fair show barn. She is already looking at colleges to become a veterinarian and continue working with animals.

EXPRESS DELIVERY SHENANDOAH COUNTY WIDE
AUGUST 2013
ENJOY! A3
Sam Taff/Daily Correspondent Hayden Fravel, 9, of Strasburg, shows off some of his entries from the past five years competing in the Shenandoah County Fair. He is hoping for more blue ribbons this year.
Crafty competitor to go for gold at fair By Sam Taff Daily correspondent
F
ive years ago, Connie Fravel was getting ready to throw out the local paper when she noticed the Shenandoah County Fair tabloid.
While leafing through it she discovered the youth arts and crafts entry forms.
Like many other moms, she thought her son was a budding artist and figured why not enter some of his art.
Now 9, Hayden has turned a few entries into a summer-long project. He’s not bashful to let you know he’s in it for the money.
Last year Hayden raked in over $57 in prize money for his art.
Visiting the house where the budding artist lives just south of Strasburg, visitors are greeted with a gallery of mini projects that he hopes will boost his bank account while he has a little fun at the same time.
This year Hayden is moving up into an older age category and the thought of competing against 13-yearolds has him a little nervous. “It’s going to be a little stiffer competition,” he says. In his first year, at the age of 4, Hayden entered about eight projects and won a blue ribbon for his crayon picture. This year the categories are broader and more difficult, and he expects to enter work in more than 20 categories, including a lot of still photography. As his mother remembers, “We sat down one day a few weeks ago and went through about 900 pictures.” Hayden remembers too. “That was no fun.” He is always looking for the next winning photo. You’ll find pictures of him making funny faces into the lens, or sticking his camera out the window in a blowing snow storm to capture a cardinal sitting on a branch. One of those pictures could give him a ribbon and add to his cash prize.
Sam Taff/Daily Correspondent Chad, left, and Cody Ludwig of Conicville pose with their sheep, Shrimp, far left, and Bob, which they plan to show at the Shenandoah County Fair later this month. Cody, Chad and their brother Dillon are 8-year-old triplets.
Boys who survived odds to try their luck showing sheep By Sam Taff Daily correspondent
When the boys started work in May, Chad says, their father helped them learn how to show sheep.
There’s no telling how 8-year-olds Cody and Chad
“He told us how to hold the sheep still and walk them around and set their legs,” Chad explains. “Don’t ever let your guard down.”
Ludwig will do showing their sheep at the Shenandoah County Fair, but they are sure to have fun and earn lots of hugs for their effort. The oldest and youngest of triplets, Chad and Cody are lucky just to be alive; they and their middle brother Dillon were born 26 weeks early in 2004. Cody was only 14 ounces at birth and given a 10 percent chance of surviving, “But I made it,” he says, puffing out his chest. “The doctors saved my life.” He loves to tell stories, and during a pre-fair interview on the family’s Conicville farm, he talks without hesitation. Chad on the other hand smiles while watching his animated younger brother. He was born first, weighing one pound, 12 ounces, and likes to be the quiet brother, giving his mom attention by sitting on her lap and giving her kisses.
In his bedroom he has most of his creations on display or neatly tucked in a toy chest. Each one has a story and most have ribbons attached.
The middle brother Dillon was born blind, at one pound, eight ounces, and shies away from the attention Chad and Cody get leading up to the county fair.
His mom is quick to point out the idea wasn’t for Hayden to make money. “I’m just trying to keep his brain from turning to mush,” she says with a smile.
While showing them off he stops, jumps up and runs across the room.
Hayden is the first generation in his family to enter his wares at the fair. His mother was never involved in fair projects, and his father Paul helped his own father show dairy cows, but never did it himself.
“This is my favorite, look at this,” he exclaims, picking up a rock with a face painted on the front. “It’s a hedgehog.” Pieces of wood are glued to the back of the rock and even without explanation it’s easy to tell what it is.
In their 8 years so far, Chad and Cody have fought the good fight, but Aug. 26 they will have a new challenge: showing sheep for the first time.
Hayden says planning ahead for the fair is important.
“I start a couple of months before so I have enough time to make the stuff,” he says. “I think of what I’m going to do and get what I need to do it.”
Hayden also enjoys some down time between projects. He likes texting with friends on his iPod and swimming in the family pool. But he expects to keep up his artwork for a few more years.
Some of the ideas come from Internet searches, like the mosaic he is entering this year using seed, which impressed his mother.
Hayden says doing the projects isn’t always fun, but when asked if he would recommend it to others he was quick with an answer: “Tell them to do it.”
“You just wouldn’t think to do something like that,” she says.
If they do, they can expect to find Hayden’s family at the exhibit building Sunday scoping out all the exhibits looking for ribbons. Hayden will be up early that morning waiting to go to the fair to find out what he won.
Some of the projects take only minutes while others take longer.
Their father, Wade Ludwig, has missed only one 4-H meeting in 39 years of being a member -- when the boys were born -- so when Cody and Chad decided to compete at the county fair, they had someone to show them how. Ludwig has shown sheep since he was 9 years old, and for seven years he was either grand champion or reserve grand champion at the fair.
First thing they did was pick the sheep they wanted to show. “You pick them by naming them,” Cody says. “I named mine Bob.” As for Chad, “I named mine Shrimp because he’s really short.” Doing a majority of the work themselves, with a little help from their father, Cody and Chad walk the sheep on a rope so the animals get used to being led around. After all the hard work, the family is looking forward to the show in his or her own way. Their father speaks with pride in his eyes when he says “My dad is more excited than me because these are his only grandsons.” Their mother Carla admits, “I’m excited and a little nervous,” but she makes sure the boys are listening before adding, “I’ve seen the show and I’ve seen sheep get away so they really have to pay attention.” Meanwhile, the boys are mixed on how they feel they will do in the show. Cody answers with concern: “I think I’ll do terrible.” Chad thinks he’ll do a little better but the opportunity of parading in front of bunch of people really doesn’t seem to bother him. “I think I’m going to be in the middle,” he says. “I don’t think a little boy in the first year is going to win. I can win though.”
