Sale Sponsors
Hello everyone! We would like to welcome you to the 2025 Market Steer Sale. This year we have 13 members in our Club, 9 of which are planning to showcase their Market Steer Projects. The kids have worked hard at home to get their Beef projects ready for Achievement days and their Steers ready for sale day. Please be sure to stop by the 4-H Barn at the fairgrounds to visit with the members about their projects, they are very eager to tell you all about them! We will be holding a live auction of our 4-H Market Steers during our Achievement Days at the Carberry Fair on Saturday July 5th at 4:30 pm at the 4-H Barn. We would like to express our sincerest Thanks to all of our past and current Sponsors, Buyers, and Bidders....and of course, the parents!!! Without your endless support of our 4-H club, the members would not have the opportunities to take part in all that 4-H has to offer. We understand that not everyone has the freezer space for a full or even half a beef. Please feel free to chat with any of us about sharing the purchase of a steer or partner up with someone to help share space and reduce your cost on buying a premium quality product to feed your family. There are spaces reserved at Cut-Rite Meats at Carberry, Cypress River Meats in Cypress River, and Prairie Rose Meats in Souris, or you can use an abattoir of your choice. The members will deliver your purchase to your location of choice. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call any of the members, parents, or leaders.
See you all at the 4-H Barn!!!

Hi, my name is Ellie Nolan. I’m 12 years old. I’ve been in 4-h for 3 years. I have been treasurer for my 4-h club for two years now. My favourite part of 4-h is showing my cattle. My steer’s name is Goose. He is Charolais cross. He was born May.1st 2024. My purebred black angus heifer that I purchased with my own money is named Eve. Short for Evening. She was born January.3rd 2024. This year I did an extra project, which was the 4-h babysitters club. When I sell my steer, I want to just save the money but not for any particular reason. I am excited to share my knowledge with my younger siblings, Oaklynne and Cash with years to come. Their only one years old so I still have to wait a bit. My favourite hobbies are dancing, singing, flipping around, showing cows, cleaning, playing softball, and going to family gatherings. I’m very excited to keep proceeding in 4-h and to show my animals this year.
Thank you.

He has been fun to feed and I love working with him. I also like washing, clipping and grooming.I plan to donate 10% of my Market Steer Sale money to STARS Air Ambulance just like my brother Lucas.
