Premier National Junior Guernsey Show Judge
Chris Reichard grew up on his family’s Holstein and Jersey farm in Chambersburg, PA. He now resides in New Paris, PA with his wife, Beth Clark, where they raise registered Guernseys and purebred Aberdeen Angus cattle. In recent years, other breeds have been incorporated into the herd.
Since 2010, Chris and Beth have bred or developed more than 60 All-American Nominations under the Misty Meadows prefix, some of which have been voted unanimous All-American. Their small herd was recognized in 2025 with a BAA of 108.3%, fourth high in the nation.
Chris spent more than 20 years preparing dairy cattle for shows, sales, photographs, and classification across the United States. This line of work has also allowed him to travel domestically as well as internationally. He was the 2008 recipient of the Klussendorf-McKenzie Award presented annually at World Dairy Expo.
Chris has judged county and state fairs in more than ten different states. He served as associate judge for the National Guernsey Show and lead judge for the National Junior Guernsey Show at the North American International Livestock Exhibition in Louisville, Kentucky. Additionally, Chris has served as the official Guernsey judge for the Hoard’s Dairymen Judging contest.
