Millarville Stockland 4-H Club held its Achievement Day on Sunday, May 19TH. Our club this year is smaller but still very competitive. To start the day off we did multi-judging on different types of seeds. Then our cleaver members went first in the morning with their calendar calf ‘s, then showmanship and then a costume class. Next up we had our chute races. We were split into three teams, got 5 minutes for planning and then the race was on. It was very fun.
Then we had our Sheep Show: first up was junior Market Lamb then senior Market Lamb. Justin Watkins won Grand Champion Market lamb and Kenzley Stanley won Reserve Champion Market lamb. After the market lamb class there was a pen of three class which had only 1 competitor, Sage Runge and won first in her class. Right after that class was the Junior and senior Ewe lamb class and with that the grand champion ewe lamb was Sage Runge and the Reserve Champion ewe lamb was Kenzley Stanley’s. To continue the day with sheep we had Grand Champion breeding ewe lamb, Justin Watkins and reserve Champion breeding ewe, Sage Runge. The last class of sheep that day was Junior and Senior Showmanship, and the top two places went to the master Showmanship class. The two who won sheep showmanship were: William Penman (junior) and Sage Runge (senior).
The beef show started off mid-afternoon with junior and senior aged heifers and the grand champion heifer was Jessie Blatz and with the reserve Champion heifer was Maddie Watkins. The next classes of beef were homegrown heifers, 2-year-olds/3- year-old cow/calf pairs. And with that our grand champion female was Peyton Christman and Reserve Champion female with Jessie Blatz. Next class was herd class, with Maddie Watkins first place, Harrison Rawn 2nd. Just after that class was the market steer competition with Junior, Intermediate and Senior classes. Grand Champion steer Jessie Blatz and Reserve Champion Sterling Christman.
Now the showing begins, Junior, Intermediate and senior Showmanship has started. Sterling Christman made it on from junior, Peyton Cristman making it off from intermediate and Maddie Watkins making it off senior. And with that we’re nearly at the end of Millarville Stockland 4-H beef club achievement day.
Then we had a costume class and the final class was Master Showmanship, and Sage Runge won, with Peyton Christman in second.
Thank you to all the judges, volunteers, parents and participants for making this day special for everyone.
