Armena 4-H Beef in 69th year

By Brynn Burkhardt, Armena Beef 4-H Club

The Armena Beef 4-H Club started its 69th year with an organizational meeting last October. This year, we have eight members and three Cleavers.

The annual weigh-in was held on October 29, 2022 at Burkhardt’s Farm. We weighed eight steers, two carcass steers and two heifers. All calves were weighed, tagged and vaccinated.

We have been meeting on the first Thursday of the month in person at Scandia Lutheran Church.

On January 3, we all went skating at Armena for our club Christmas party. We had hot chocolate, snacks and everyone had a good time.

Public speaking was held on January 28 at Scandia Lutheran Church. All the club members gave very good speeches.

Upcoming events are our Farm Tour on March 4 and our Club Achievement Day on April 29.
