TIMONIUM, Md. — Savage-Leigh Leona, a Holstein aged cow owned by Chip Savage of Savage-Leigh Farm in Union Bridge, was honored as the open supreme champion senior dairy female at the Maryland State Fair Friday, Aug. 31.

The open supreme champion junior dairy female banner was presented to the Red and White champion, a fall yearling, Whitdale D Hvezda Sky-Red. The winning entry was by Chris and Jen Hill, Richard Green and Chad Umbel of Thurmont.
