Vegreville 4-H Beef Club November Report

Cooper Axten and Matthew Mears - Club Reporters

The Vegreville 4-H Beef Club held its second meeting of the year on Nov. 1. We had pizza and shared our Halloween experiences. Our weigh-in date was set and we will also tour the college farm this month.

On Nov. 6 we all met and weighed in our steers at the Kisilevich farm. We weighed 30 steers in total including stall mates. There will be 19 steers up for auction at Achievement Day May 29.

On November 8 we meet at Lakeland College for a tour of the farm. It was a chilly day but lots was learned. We started at the red barn where the students calve out about 130 head of cattle. Then we went to the new dairy barn. They milk about 120 cows there. The robot milker was pretty cool. The cows are trained to go in to it at least twice a day to get milked and fed pellets.

Our last stop was the Animal health building. April Warlow gave us a tour of the clinic. The students learn how to care, treat and do pre-ops on animals. Their cattle handling system was so clean it could be in a farm show.

We will be sorting toys at the Christmas Bureau on Dec. 13.
