SHOW# 1 Elle Flaig

Hello my name is Elle Flaig and this is my fourth year showing steers. I love playing hockey and writing stories. This year my project is a red baldy Simmental. My main focus this year with Wafi was having him halter broke early in the year and feeding him lots of feed to get him nice and heavy. Wafi has been my favourite steer I’ve ever worked with because of his calm demeanour and is very friendly. Wafi has lots of meat on his bones that will make nice juicy streaks. He will not disappoint!

This year I pulled my Pro Card to ride Steers in Western Canada Professionally and am working to make the Candian Finals Rodeo! My steer profits will help get me down the road and i will be advertising my Steer Buyer as a Sponsor on my Rodeo gear for the rest of the season.

He will make a great addition to your freezer.

SHOW# 30 Gentry Harvie

My name is Gentry Harvie, I am 7 years old and in Grade 2. This is my first year in High Steaks and I’m loving it!! My homegrown Simmental steer is named “HANGMAN” because he was a little tricky to halter break. After a lot of hard work in the barn getting him quiet enough to wash and lead him around, we were able to take him to a few spring junior shows where we managed to win our class. It’s been a great year in the club working together with my fellow members and making new lifelong friends. I’d like to thank all the parents for helping us to help make this event a success!

High Steaks Beef Club Steer

This year our members purchased a steer from Colt Needham’s family to raise as our club steer. The proceeds of selling the club steer are to help the kids with expenses to run the club throughout the year. Please consider this steer to fill your freezer and help the kids & club!
