Millarville Stockland 4-H Beef club was off to a great start in October! Weigh-in was held on October 28, 2023, at Black Diamond land & Co. Thanks to Black Diamond land & Co for letting us use their facility for multiple years now. It looks like that all of our Steers and Heifers are all healthy.
In November, some of the members went to the Priddis fall supper and helped out with the dinner and also Mutts & Mustangs came and helped too. It was a big hit. I think everyone can agree, the upside down apple cake was the best. We also had a record book workshop meeting which turned out to be more talking about the carcass competition coming up.
December was a Merry Christmas for the members of the Millarville Stockland 4-H Beef club. The Christmas Party at Laser city was amazing. Thanks to Harrison Rawn and Sterling Christman to make that the highlight of the year. I think we should do it again next year too.
In January we went on our beef farm tour. It was fun visiting each other’s farm and seeing how each family took care of how they raised their animals. Thanks to the Christman Family for making lunch at our last farm stop. On January 31 we had a vet farm tour at the new Eastern Slopes clinic in Black Diamond. It was fascinating, my favorite part was in their “garage”. They had 2 cow chute and one of them could be turned on its side.
We are looking forward to lots more fun stuff as we roll into spring!
