Welcome
to the Wymark Drylanders 4-H Club and our 3rd Annual Steer Catalogue!
Thank you for taking the time to read our catalogue. By writing this document, we hope to help sell our steers at Frontier Days on June 29, 2019 and show our appreciation for all the businesses, organizations and people who supported us this past year! Our club has 20 members from the communities of Wymark, Lac Pelletier, and Swift Current. Our Achievement Day was held on May 26th, 2019 at the Burnett Ranch just south of Swift Current. We had 17 steers shown by seventeen kids ranging in age from nine to nineteen. Thanks to the Burnetts, Achievement Day was a great day that was full of fun for all ages. Our members showed off the results of all their hard work- it was truly awesome to see all the kids and their groomed steers parade through sale barn. Now the Wymark Drylanders 4-H members present their steers for you to bid on. Starting on June 29, 2019 at 9 AM, the club members will show their steers in a competition against 10 other 4-H clubs. At 5 PM, the Wymark Drylanders 4-H steers will be available for sale by auction. If you have any questions, or want an “up close and personal� look at the steers, we invite you to come to the barn and meet our members before the auction; we are sure that you will be impressed.

4-H STEER SALE
Sunday, June 29, 2019 Afternoon Swift Current Ag & Ex Frontier Days
General Sale Information If you decide to bid on our steers (and we are sure that you will because they are so irresistible), all you have to do is raise your hand during the auction. Each time that you raise your hand, you will be increasing your bid. If the auctioneer says, “sold” after your bid, you will be the proud owner of an incredible beefy steer. After you buy the steer, it is up to you to take it home, call it “George” and keep it until it dies of natural old age! Nah, we are kidding! All you have to do is decide if you want to: a) Resell the steer. If this is your choice, please ask the Ringman to have your steer placed in the Heartland Pen OR b) Get that steer cut and wrapped for easy storage and ingestion. If this is your choice, please ask to have your steer placed in the abattoirs pen of your choice. If you are unable to attend, but you would still like to buy one of our steers, please consider our ORDER BUYING PROGRAM and contact Beau Switzer (306-741-6605). As a buyer of one of our steers, you will be associated with 4-H (which is the BEST rural youth organization in Saskatchewan), you will be publicly acknowledged and thanked at the auction sale, and you will be recognized in OUR 4TH ANNUAL STEER CATALOGUE. Thank you in advance for your support! Happy bidding! 2
