4-H beef/steer
Description
4-steer for sale (1/4 , 1/2 , or 1 whole)
Hello, my name is Jessi Melenka, I am the current president of the Wasa & District 4-H Club. I am also a former member of South Country Crafts&Critters 4-H, and was the club reporter at the time. I have been doing 4-H for a few years previous and this is my 5th beef project. My previous projects were heifer and cow/calf based with one winning 2022 Grand Champion. My 2023 steers name is “Goose” and he is a Simmental Cross that I purchased from Whispering Willow Acres in Vermillion AB. Goose weighed approximately 620lbs at purchase weight and 699lbs at weigh in. As of April 7th he weighed 1155lbs with a rate of gain at 2.5lbs a day. My goal is to have him finish around 1300-1400lbs with a rate of gain at 3.62lbs a day. On April 12th Goose showed at the Chinook Junior Stock Show and took us to the Finals for Senior Showmanship and then continued to land us in the Semi-finals for Market Steer. I will either be selling Goose at the 2023 Cranbrook & District show and sale (first Sunday of June), or at the Calgary Stampede stock show in early July.
-Why do you like 4-H? Because it has allowed for new experiences, and ability to expand on previous knowledge along side raising my own livestock. There is also a great community that is built around being a 4-H member and everyone is always working together to make the best of whatever the situation may be.
-What have you learned raising your project? Throughout the last year with my steer I’ve expanded my knowledge more on how to clip and fit in order to catch the judges eye, and just what goes into that “perfect” show steer. I have also built onto my public speaking and how to organize or run club events and meetings.
-What do you do besides 4-H? Besides 4-H, I primarily enjoy riding horses and fighting Muay Thai.
-I would also like to share my appreciation for Jessica Emmott in providing me with such a great steer and community features for my investment loan, aswell as the 4-H community for helping make sure we have a good season.
