US KNEEHILL VALLEY

Back in 1949 the Kneehill Valley 4-H Beef Club was formed and has been operating for 74 successful years. This year the club has 29 members and 13 cleaver members. Our members have been working all year on market steer projects, carcass steers, heifers, 2 year old and 3 year old cow calf pairs as well as cleaver bottle calves. They have worked on these projects since weigh in on November 5th with the goal of getting them ready for the one day show and sale on May 29th.

The club has had involvement from leaders, parents & thousands of youth, developing strong communication, leadership, organization, grooming and showmanship, just too name a few. Throughout the year members have learned about public speaking, record keeping, marketing, judging, showmanship, grooming, nutrition and feeding their project, as well as what it means to give back to their community by doing highway clean-up, community volunteering and caring for the Charity Steer to raise money for local charities and causes.
