A busy start to Winter for the Millarville Stockland Club!
January and February have been really busy and exciting months for our club! First of all, we had our beef farm tour on January 4th. This is where we go to everyone’s houses and take a look at their beef projects. The farm tour is a great learning opportunity as we get to see how other people take care of their projects and how we can make improvements with ours. This year it looks like everyone’s projects are doing really well! It was a beautiful frosty day to visit lots of different farms and we enjoyed lunch altogether halfway through the tour.
On January 14, we had our monthly business meeting. It was located at MRAS Hall and we discussed previous and upcoming activities for and of this month. On January 17, we had our first beef clinic at MRAS Arena that junior member Vikram Chouhan hosted. We learned how to care for and show our animals. We focused on grooming, leading and showmanship. It was a big success and loads of fun!
On February 8th we had our club Public Speaking that was held at MRAS Hall. Everyone had amazing speeches and presentations, and it was a huge success for our club. We also were thankful for the family and friends who attended and the judges who gave their time to be there. This event was sponsored by Altalink and we can’t thank them enough for their support! The junior winners who get to move on are Kenzley Stanley and Colbie Johnson with Gracen Peloquin as the alternate. Our intermediate winners are Sterling Christman and Sabine Polivka with Pyper Stanley named the alternate after an exciting three-way tie “speak off ”. Our senior winner was Peyton Christman. Talia Ramic and Maddie Storch will move on with their wonderful presentations. These winners then get to move on then go to our district public speaking event to be held March 1st at Meadowbank Hall.
On February 11th we had our monthly business meeting for February. We once again discussed previous and upcoming activities. We have two more clinics coming up in February including a marketing workshop and another hands-on project clinic and March is already looking full of 4H fun!
