Byemoor 4H Beef Club has a busy year<br />

by Addison Charbonneau<br />

Hi. I’m Addison Charbonneau, and I<br />

am the club reporter for the Byemoor<br />

4H Beef club this year.<br />

The Byemoor 4H Beef Club has had<br />

a busy year so far.<br />

We started the year with weigh-in at<br />

Yates Farm, with 10<br />

market steers and one<br />

heifer project.<br />

We also have four<br />

cleaver members this<br />

year.<br />

Some of the activities<br />

that we have done this<br />

year are playing cards<br />

with the seniors in<br />

Byemoor, selling<br />

Christmas trees at<br />

Byemoor Santa Days<br />

and skating for our club<br />

Christmas party.<br />

We held our 4H<br />

speeches on March 1,<br />

and the winners were:<br />

Ray Musgrove for<br />

juniors, Ryan Yates for<br />

intermediate, and<br />

Bailey Musgrove for<br />

Seniors.<br />

As a club, we went to<br />

the 4H judging at the<br />

Canadian Bull<br />

Congress in Camrose,<br />

where we judged rabbits,<br />

guinea pigs and<br />

cattle.<br />

Then we participated<br />

in a scavenger hunt<br />

that was very hard!<br />

Charolais bull<br />

sale results<br />

Submitted<br />

In the 37 years the Charolais Banner<br />

magazine has been compiling<br />

Charolais bull sale results. This<br />

spring was the best ever.<br />

From the fall of 2017 to the spring of<br />

<strong>2018</strong> there were 96 sales reporting, six<br />

more than in 2017 and the largest<br />

number of animals and sales ever.<br />

The gross was up nearly 1.35 million<br />

dollars, the highest ever. The sale<br />

average was also up from 2017 with<br />

over 3,400 bulls sold averaging $6,160.<br />

Helge By, publisher of the Charolais<br />

Banner magazine cites the increases<br />

to more breeders going to an auction<br />

method compared to private treaty off<br />

the yard, combined with the increased<br />

interest in Charolais bulls, as more<br />

commercial producers realize the<br />

need to crossbreed and receive the premiums<br />

paid for Charcross calves when<br />

selling.<br />

Complete results are available in the<br />

May issue of the Charolais Banner<br />

We also had a halter making and<br />

knot tying afternoon where we all<br />

made our own halters and Ryan<br />

showed us some new knots.<br />

On April 28 we held our Mock<br />

Achievement Day at Sorensen’s farm.<br />

for the day.<br />

After watching a clipping demonstration<br />

on my calf ‘Dewey’, we all got<br />

to clip our calves with Tessa and<br />

Colin’s help.<br />

We had a mini show after lunch<br />

Tessa and Colin Verbeek of Crossing Creek Cattle, Morinville, Ab. show which areas to clip on ‘Dewey the calf’ at<br />

the Byemoor 4H Beef Club mock achievement day on April 28 at Sorensen’s farm. <strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong>/Submitted<br />
