Quinten Albrecht Club Reporter – Holden 4-H

Beef Five members of Beaver District attended multiple events held in conjunction with the 4-H Beef Heifer Show and Summer Synergy in Olds, AB July 7 – 12. These events are organized by the Provincial Beef Show Committee and Olds Regional Exhibition. Events include a judging workshop, grooming demonstration and skills classes such as showmanship, grooming, and team judging. It also included conformation classes for heifers, calves and cow/calf pairs. PeeWee’s also had instruction on multiple areas regarding tagging calves, judging and craft activities to name a few. Members attending from the Beaver District included Shelby Sarafinchan (Viking Beef 4-H), Zane and Rhea Gunderson and Quinten and Kate Albrecht (Holden Beef 4-H).

The members had a great week of learning and showing their cattle. Zane Gunderson won Grand Champion commercial cow/calf pair all other breeds with his cow Bomb and her calf Grenade. Bomb is an Angus/Hereford/Shorthorn cross cow. This qualified Zane to show in the Supreme Class at the Calgary Stampede. Zane also did a presentation on grooming for the public following the Supreme Class.

A great week of learning and showing was had by all who attended, thanks to support from the Provincial 4-H Beef Show Committee, Olds Regional Exhibition, and the many sponsors and volunteers who made the show possible.
