President’s Luncheon
The first
ever President’s

on Saturday afternoon

the
National Sale and
Jr. Show weekend

days as leader of

American
Southdown Breeders’ Association
and to remember and honor those
before them.
ASBA Presidents in attendance were Duron Howard, with wife

of them for their
years of dedication
to the Association
and
the
Southdown breed.
The
attendees received a
sneak preview of
the
Ideal
Southdown Ewe
sculpture commissioned by the
ASBA. The sculpture was done by
artist Carol Herden
of Iowa and is for
sale by the ASBA.
Everyone agreed
she was, indeed,
the ideal Southdown ewe and that
she looked just like their ewes at
home.
After lunch,
the guests enjoyed
a short walk to the
famous
Nittany
Lion statue for
group
photos
before returning to
the
Livestock
Evaluation Center
for more sale and
show activities.
The luncheon, which started
with a shrimp cocktail and was
capped off with a delicious cobbler
was sponsored by GenMark.
GenMark is the official testing laboratory for the ASBA.
Pictured to the right are all
the past ASBA Presidents from the
last 60 years. Do you know any interesting facts or stories about these
people or the ASBA Assocation? If
so, contact the Journal office.
60 Years of Dedication
The past Presidents were
asked to share their thoughts or memories about their term in office and or
earlier Presidents. Duron Howard
gave a short review or update on all
the Presidents that served before
him. He then recalled the official hiring of Florence Strouse and moving
the ASBA office into her home. Ed
Schulz talked about the slick shear
rule that was enacted during his term
in office. All talked about the strength
of the Southdown breed and the roll
the Association has taken to be a
leader in the breeding sheep industry.
President Gary Kwisnek thanked all

any sheep enthusiasts
are
attracted
to
Southdowns
when
choosing a breed to purchase.
They are often drawn to the
size and practicality of these
sheep while sometimes it’s a
child’s fascination that justifies
the purchase of a Southdown.
Jessica Goblet of Berne, New
York was one of those children.
Jessica first learned
about Southdowns at the New
England Youth Show and Sale
when she was eight. The
Goblet family was no stranger
to raising sheep since Jessica’s
dad, Jim, grew up on the family
farm, Hessian Hill Farm, and
holds fond memories of his
grandmother’s
commercial
flock.
Jessica
Goblet
Berne, New York
Jessica and her twin
brother, Justin, began showing
market lambs when they
reached 4-H age, and Dorsets
were the primary registered
breed. She was determined to
add Southdowns to their flock
and often shared her desire
with her family at the dinner
table.
Within a year, Jessica
had achieved her goal when
she bought her first Southdown,
a Splendorview ram named
“Chunkie Butt.” Since that first
purchase, the Hessian Hill flock
has grown to 20 breeding ewes,
10 lambs, and 4 rams and has
had tremendous success in the
show ring.
Jessica has been recognized with Supreme Champion
Ram, Supreme Champion Ewe,
and Supreme Flock at the New
York State 4-H Show. And, in
2004, she was named the
Master Sheep Showman.
One of her greatest successes has been at the
Cooperstown Junior Livestock
show, where Hessian Hill sheep
have been Best in Show in
seven out of the past eight
years. Jessica’s accomplishments at this show have helped
