What

GOES INTO RAISING A 4-H BEEF?

The 4-H program promotes the “learn to do, by doing” mind-set in youth. The process of selecting, caring for, and raising these animals to the best of their ability is the job of the 4-H youth, who range in age from 6 years to 21 years. Through mentors they discover what their animal likes to eat and what nutrition the animal needs, what makes the animal most comfortable (large pen size, clean bedding, feed variety are examples), how to identify health problems and determine a course of action to resolve the issue, and how to train these animals to follow

What

a lead, have a bath, and learn to accept pets and scratches from their human care takers.

Raising a beef animal is hard work! 4-H members start a beef market project in October and typically finish in May or June. Likewise, members start a market Lamb project in March and finish in May or June. Feeding, grooming, pen cleaning, and animal care culminate in countless hours of work by the members to grow and deliver a quality animal to the buyer.

ELSE DOES 4-H PROMOTE?

The 4-H program is designed to foster confidence, competency, and hands-on skill development in youth.

They participate in public speaking and community volunteer initiatives each year.

AIDAN KUECHLER

Market Steer

AUSTIN ROHLEDER

My name is Aidan and this is my steer ‘Jarold’. He likes getting dirty. If there is a pile of manure he will find it and lay in it! He loves hay and scratches on his brisket. This is my second year doing market steer and I hope that I will be successful showing him. Thank you for reading my bio.

Hello buyers! My name is Austin Rohleder, and this is my steer ‘Maverick’. I am a grade 10 student at Cochrane High, and this is my 7thyear as a Cremona 4H member.

I am interested in mechanics and electronics, as well as hunting and the outdoors. I’d like to be an engineer and am excited for my future. ‘Maverick’, on the other hand, is dumber than a sack of rocks. He is a Black Angus steer, and weighed in at 900 lbs. He’s also a purebred licker, bred only to lick everything he sees. He has been gaining weight rapidly and has been a pleasure to halter break. Thank you so much for your support with the Cremona & Carstairs 4H Show & Sale and I hope to see you there! You should enjoy this magnificent beauty of a steer in your freezer!

BENTLEY QUIGLEY

BILLY BENNETT

Hey, I’m Bentley Quigley, and this is my steer ‘Chuck’. This is my third year and ‘Chuck’ is the second steer I have worked with in 4H. He is a Black Angus. His meat is going to be lovely and you will smile when you bite into the steak, because of all the delicious grain he has eaten. ‘Chuck’ is a very tame steer. He has been a pleasure to work with and feed. I look forward to seeing you at the sale!

Hi there, I am Billy Bennett. This is my 4th year in 4H and my 3rd year with a steer. ‘Java’ is an Angus X, and he will taste great! He was raised on BC mountain grass at the Bugaboo Ranch where my grandparents live. I like him because of his rump, and how he is easy to work with. I would be happy to show you him at the May Show & Sale.

Thank you for your support!

I present to you ‘Clifford’, the big red steer. ‘Clifford’ has been a lot of fun to raise and train. He enjoys being scratched right between his shoulder blades, resting his head on my shoulder, and sniffing at the cats, dogs, and chickens that venture into his pen. ‘Clifford’ is a Simmental cross and has been around people his whole life. I hope you enjoy the Show ‘n Sale and thank you for supporting our club this year.

DUSTY BENNETT

FRANK PIKE

Hey, I’m Dusty Bennett & I’ve been a member of the Cremona 4H Club for 8 years. Beef has been a huge part of my life as I live on a cattle ranch. This steer came from Bugaboo Ranch, which is a family run, grass fed operation.

He loves to eat and is filling out nicely, making him perfect for your dinner table. I appreciate your support of 4H, local farms & kids growing food in our community!

I am Frank and my steer shown here is ‘Terry’. I am 14 years old, and this is currently my 3rd year in 4-H. He is a Charolais Simmental cross and can have excessive energy, but as time goes by he is becoming more manageable and is now leading well. After putting in many hours with ‘Terry’ I have confidence that he will prove to have good meat and will show well. My steer was named by a friend.

My goal with ‘Terry’ is to put in the effort to produce a good steer for my buyers and to learn the life skills that come along with being a part of 4-H.

GRACE DIEGEL

Market Steer

GRIFFIN KEITEL

Hello my name is Grace and this is my fourth year in 4H. My steer this year is named ‘Stew’, short for beef stew but don’t tell him! ‘Stew’ has been a joy to work with, but a little stubborn with the walking. He just needs extra motivation and encouragement to move from his lazy hand-fed life.

Hi. I’m Griffin Keitel. I’m 15 and this is my 4th year in 4-H. My steer, ‘Babyface’, is named after Al Capone and is a Simmental cross. He has been great to work with this year.

He has grown nicely and would be a good addition to your freezer. He’s not bootlegging liquor, but he’s sure packing a lot of top quality beef! Thanks for supporting this year’s Show and Sale.

Hi, my name is Holton Harms. I am a 4th generation 4H member. My steer ‘Carl’ is a black, good looking farm raised steer. He comes out of our Black Angus herd bull and a young Black Angus cross cow out of our herd that my Dad manages. My steer is eating his grain very well and he is starting to lead quite well. Since I have gotten my steer he has grown substantially and is becoming a very nice finished steer.

Hi there! My name is Iris and I’m in Grade 12. I’d like to introduce you to ‘Bugsy’, my Simmental x steer! He’s been packing on the pounds especially in these past few months and is showing as a big, well-finished animal.

What’s better than 4-H beef? Not much - and Bugsy’s got a lot of it. As vice president of the Cremona club, I’d like to invite you to the 2022 Show ‘n Sale! Hope to see you there!

AYDEN BAKER

Market Lamb

CHARLEY CARLSON

Hello everyone, my name is Ayden Baker, and today I’m hoping to peek your interest in purchasing my market wether, ‘Sir Loin’. His name comes from a cow breed encyclopaedia I was reading one day. In the book, it said a king called the white park breed sir loin, so I chose that name for my lamb. Back to my sheep, Sir loin was selected from my family’s flock for 4-H. He lives with mine and my sister’s ewe lambs, her market lamb and our alternates. Sir Loin is fed three times a day to prevent bloat and to get nice and big, perfect for your table. I would like work with his buyers to show him at 4-H on parade, our Regional show this year. sHave a nice day and please consider the purchase of my lamb, ‘Sir Loin’.

Hi my name is Charley Carlson this is my first year in 4-H, and I am 12 years old. My lamb’s name is Bronx he is a Southdown Cheviot cross. He is a very friendly lamb. The money that I make off of him I will save for a trappers license. In my free time I like to trap moles and shoot gophers.

ELLA ALLEN

EMMA OROZCO

My name is Ella Allen, I am 12 years old, and this is my 3rd year in 4-H! This year I have a market lamb and a ewe lamb project. I’ve been working hard on my market lamb and feeding it lots to make it look amazing. I’ve been working on halter training so he will walk nicely in the show.

I hope that you might be interested in purchasing my lamb at the sale!

My name is Emma Orozco and I am a junior in the Cremona 4H Club. This is my first year in 4H and I enjoy it because one day I would like to be a farmer. My sheep’s name is Pepper and he is a Suffolk Lamb. I love to walk him around our acreage. My favorite thing about the program is getting to own and raise an animal. Thank you for supporting 4H! 17

HUDSON ROHLEDER

I am Frank and my youthful lamb shown here is floppy eared Linus. I am 14 years old, and this is currently my 3rd year in 4-H and second year in sheep. He is a Canadian Arcott-Suffolk cross and can be high maintenance. As time goes by he is becoming more manageable and is now leading well. After putting in many hours with Linus I have confidence that he will prove to have good meat and will show well. My goal with Linus is to put in the effort to produce a good sheep for my buyers and to learn the life skills that come along with being a part of 4-H.

Hi, my name is Hud and I am 9 years old and this is my 1st year in the Cremona 4-H club. My lamb is named after Terminator but I had to put some lamb related name so her name is Lambinator!!! She is a Suffolk cross and her birthday is January 6,2022!! She is off to a great start and I hope she’ll be ready for show day. I know she’ll make a delicious dinner for you to enjoy or a great addition to your flock. Thank you for your support to the Cremona Club and the Carstairs & District Show & Sale.
