Yes, we help outwhere necessary, holding animals forthem to judge, etc., but it’s help thatdoesn’t interfere with their growth.I know that even from my shortinvolvement with Charolais Youth inmy younger days, I have made lifelongcontacts and friends in theindustry. I know the same is true formy kids. They talk through theinternet with kids across Canada.They have a common interest thatallows a friendship to develop. Eachyear they look forward to seeing theirfriends and making new ones.If you wonder if the program isworth the investment, without adoubt the answer is yes. The benefitsare more than you can imagine.20 Charolais Banner • May 2011
