Vegreville 4-H Beef Club Holds Weigh-In and Halter Making Clinic

Brady Weleschuk Reporter- Vegreville 4-H Beef Club

On Sunday, November 3 the Vegreville beef club held their annual weigh-in for their project animals. The weigh-in was held at Rob Stuart’s farm. The Vegreville 4-H beef club would graciously like to thank Mr. Stuart for the use of his barn and the County of Minburn for the use of their scale. Steers were weighed and received Ivomec, Black leg and Bovi-shield gold. Thank-you to the Vegreville Vet clinic for donating all the vaccinations. The steers were also given their green 4-H tags. We also had some members bring their Heifers to get weighed as well.

headed over to Albrecht farm for a pizza party and monthly meeting. Our meeting was called to order at 2:45 by Gabrielle Chermshynski. The following items were discussed: We decided as a club that we would have a live raffle steer as our major fundraiser this year. Mr. and Mrs. Weleschuk agreed to provide the live steer for the raffle. As a club for our community service we will be attending the homesteader lodge where we will play bingo with the residents. It was also decided that we will go tobogganing and have a gift exchange for our Christmas party.

We ended the meeting off with a clinic on how to make rope halters. Even our clever members joined in which was great to see!
