Brody Basaraba
Hi, my name is Maverick and this is my 2nd year in 4H beef club. I’m 9 years old and I’m in grade 4. I live just outside Rivers on a beef farm with my parents, Trevor and Amy and sisters, Austyn and Kinley. This year I am doing a steer project and his name is Adam. He is a fullblood Simmental and so far he has been very good to work with. He is a lot bigger than my steer last year so he can be a little intimidating for me sometimes, but he seems like he is going to be giant teddy bear. I want him to be halter broke so good that I can show him all by myself, so I have been working with him a lot. I hope you like Adam as much as I do because he will be very tasty beef for your freezer.

I also have a heifer project and her name is Kendall, she is a fullblood Simmental. This year I look forward to having the show and sale at Aireys farm again so that everyone can come and see the hard work I have put into my projects! I am saving up the money I earn from Patrick to add more cows to my herd and to buy hair products for my show calves. See you there!
