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 />
