The past year has obviously been out of order and many things have been changed to better fit the current situation we are all in, though the 4-H members devotion to their projects have remained the same through the pandemic by working to impress with their life skills project, or trying to leave another buyer happy with their market project purchase. Thank you and enjoy.

Aidan Aidan Hopp

ABOUT STEER Little Red is a red Angus-X steer. He was very timid when he first came to our place so I've spent quite a bit of time interacting with him so he'd be comfortable around people. I picked him as my market steer because of his great conformation and what I thought would be a good foundation for carrying his weight. He has grown into a beautiful market animal. He's not overly tall but he has a lot of depth though his midsection and hind quarters, so his weight is concentrated in the areas that provide the prime cuts.

FOR SALE

ABOUT STEER Gilbert is an Simmental-X steer. One of the reasons I picked him was because he is quiet minded and has a gentle temperament. He has always been friendly and was pretty easy to teach to lead, groom and handle. I've been very pleased with his rate of gain and his condition.

He has excellent depth through his body, a great rump as well as conditioning all over. He has a nice amount of fat which will help with the quality of the meat.

A B O U T E M I LY My name is Emily Hopp and I've been a member in 4H for 8 years, starting as a Cleaver. I've done sheep projects every year until this year and now am doing my first market steer project.

One of the things I like about 4H is learning to speak in public and be able to get my thoughts across to others. I'm very thankful to all the parents, volunteers, judges and my fellow 4H members who've put so much into making this a great year.

I've learned a lot about beef including how to care for them, groom and prepare them for sale.

ABOUT BRADEN My name is Braden Isley, I’m 16 years old and this is my 7th year in 4-H. I have a powerful steer project, beautiful heifer, a very sweet cow calf with a purebred bull calf at foot, and a fully welded table with drawer to match my last years project. I like playing football, riding dirt bikes, making cars go fast, and of course showing cattle.

I’m so glad that we’re finally getting to show our animals and projects and cannot wait for the competition.

Braden Braden Isley Isley ABOUT STEER This is my steer huckleberry, he’s a purebred salers animal and is a very well built animal with lots of depth, power and presence, being the most dominant animal in the pen while always being the calmest. The process of halter training and maintaining his health has shown me that the only way to get him to run is by showing him a bucket of grain and some open pasture. I’m proud of him and so glad that he was such an easy animal to work with, and I hope that whoever’s freezer he packs full will be proud too.

Logan Jamieson ABOUT LOGAN Hi I’m Logan Jamieson, and I am currently in grade 12 and going to school in chestermere. I play basketball and enjoy watching most sports and movies.

ABOUT STEER M y s t e e r s n a m e i s To m m y, I purchased him in early October from NuHaven cattle company, and have unfortunately not had the opportunity to take him to junior cattle shows this year.

Although him not going to shows has benefitted his gaining on weight and will surely make any buyer happy to have him in your freezer.

ABOUT MARKET LAMB My market lamb is a Cheviot Dorset cross and I am really happy with how he has grown this year. He is very stubborn and this has proven frustrating for both parties involved. Regardless of our differences though, he still will reluctantly go on short runs with me to keep his figure slim.

ABOUT CLAIRE My name is Claire Meier and I am 17. Over the 6 years I have been in 4-H, I have done a variety of sheep projects and quilting. This summer I have been hired as a camp counsellor and am excited for however that unfolds! I enjoy hiking and camping when possible so I am excited to start backpacking this summer with my family.

Claire Claire Meier Meier

FOR SALE ABOUT MARKET LAMB My market lamb is a Charolais and North Country Cheviot cross. He was born on our farm and is from one of our best ewes. He was really hard to train at first because he hates the halter and is too sturdy to push, but he has gotten a lot better over time, and now he walks really well.

Ramsay Ramsay Miller Miller ABOUT MARKET LAMB My market lamb is named Magnes because when he was born he had a beard that made him look like a king. He likes to run away from people but if you can catch him he loves scratches.

His attitude is tremendous but his cuteness and muscle make up for it.

A B O U T R A M S AY This is my 7th year in 4H and I absolutely love it! In my spare time, I like to be outdoors, riding bikes, trying to play basketball and spending time with my family and friends.
