Your business/organization can support the members by purchasing a market steer at the sale. If you are unsure of what you can do with your steer, here are a few options:
1. The 4-H clubs are ready to provide the transportation of the steers to the destination of your choice, at no extra cost
2. For your convenience, the Rocky 4-H Beef Show and Sale Committee has multiple spots booked at local abattoirs for slaughter and processing and will provide delivery of your steer to the processor.
3. There will also be a buy back program available for your purchased steer. The steer will be sent to the next local live auction sale. Please check auction reports for potential pricing. The buyback value will be the difference between the live auction sale price and the 4-H sale price. (ie) If the 4-H sale price is $3/lb on a 1200lb steer , the cost is $3600. If the sale price at a local live auction is $2.00/lbs then the buyback purchaser will receive $2400 with he auction sale, brand inspection and fees deducted from the live auction sale price. 4. You could donate it to the local food bank.
1. Terms are cash, e-transfer or cheque, payable once invoice is received. Credit card or debit can be used in person with a 4% service fee added.
2. Steers sell FOB location of Rocky 4-H Beef sale. Steers transfer ownership from seller to buyer once SOLD is announced by the auctioneer.
3. Announcements made by the auctioneer on sale day take precedence over any printed material.
4. Members and/or committee will make every effort to deliver steers to buyers preferred location after sale.
5. Steer’s insurance transfers to buyer for 30 days after the auctioneer announces SOLD
This year the Rocky South Beef Club consists of 35 members, which bring 28 great steers to the show and sale, 11 yearling heifer projects, 5 2yr old cow calf projects and 2 3yr old cow calf projects. And of course the future of our 4-H program 6 eager cleaver kids.
Our club year is an enjoyable and fulfilling year, as we participate in many functions and gatherings, including Community Service, Public speaking, judging and highway clean up. We have spent time together with our projects honing our skills in showmanship and some grooming skills. Us members learn responsibilities not only from feeding and caring for our projects. But also running our own meetings and making club decisions as a group. The Rocky South Club is a strong club with strong growth every year thank you in part to all of our parents, volunteers and supporters . We also could not be part of such a great program without all of our sponsors and buyers. On behalf of myself and all the members we would like to thank them all again for investing in us youth in agriculture. Thank you!! Your support is appreciated KorbinKatona , Vice president

has been in operation for 49 years. When the club first started it was a beef club, but the members decided to open the club up to greater possibilities and change over to a multi club. The main project is still beef, where we offer market beef projects, carcass projects and female/breeding projects. In addition to our beef program we offer many other projects for our members that are both livestock and non-livestock based projects. We also have K9, goat, baking, small engines, beekeeping and Cleaver kid that we run this year. Last year we merged the Leslieville Trail Trotters club and now also have a horse project in our club. In the past we have offered woodworking, small engines, welding, or scrapbooking. Our members get well-rounded project options in our multi club along with leadership, communication, judging, marketing, entrepreneurial skills and community connection. We encourage our members to reach out beyond club level and participate in other 4-H events at district, regional and provincial levels. Our club is a great place for members to socialize, make lifelong friendships and of course eat great food.

Hello! I’m Timory Nicolay from the Rocky North 4-H Multi Club. I’ve been a proud member of 4-H for five years. For this year's Show and Sale I’d like to introduce you to my steer, Jimmah. Jimmah is a Simmental who I bought from a family friend and has been an amazing companion so far this year, he has done an outstanding job of exceeding my expectations. When we weighed Jimmah at weigh-in back in October he weighed 737 lbs and has been growing like a weed since, so I can assure you there will be a lot of meat on him for Show and Sale! Also while I'm here I’d like to thank my last year's buyerVold, Jones & Vold Auction Co. for buying my previous steer. That’s all from me and I hope to see you at the show and sale!

My name is Cody, I am 9 years old and I like to spend time adventuring with friends and family! This is my first 4-H steer: Angus. He is a Simmental angus cross, and was born on St. Patrick’s day. I knew the first time that I saw him that I wanted him to be my 4-H project because of how quiet and sweet he is. Even when he was a calf out on pasture I could pet him. He likes to follow me around his pen for more scratches while I’m doing chores. I’m really going to miss him after show and sale day, but I’m already looking forward to next year! Hopefully I’ll see you at the sale!

I bought a steer who I've named Black Spruce, he is a Simmental x Angus from Trevor Marcinek. I usually just call him Steery, Sprucer or just beasty. This steer is such a different animal than my steer last year. He may be a turd sometimes and quite stubborn but he is very friendly and gentle, and he can be a bit goofy. Black Spruce has been really good to work with so far. Remember last year when I said if my steer sells well I would buy a Corgi puppy!? Well I did, and his name is Rex! Him and I go to do my chores every day, he's fun and outgoing... we make the best partners. When not working with my 4-H projects, I love to read, write and draw. I enjoy Ballet and Basketball, playing with the dogs and our other animals.

Hey! This is my first year doing a heifer project and I am using my very first Cleaver project's calf who I've named Mocha. She was born later in 2024 but she was so sweet and cute that I was excited to use her! She is a Simmental x Brown Swiss. She is good in the halter though she can be rather sassy at times. She likes when you give her compliments and she prances around like she is so very proud of herself. Mocha also is a grain hog so I have to be careful she doesn't steal Black Spruce's grain!
Hey there, Ben deBruyn here. This year I have another nice purebred Simmental heifer who I bought off of Swantewitt Simmentals. Her name is Maria and I am glad to get to show her this year.

Hello, My name is Chloe and this is Teddy Bear. She is a Charolais/ Maine Anjou Cross. Teddy Bear is just a snuggly Teddy Bear. I chose Teddy Bear for her fluffiness and because she looked like a good show heifer. I like that she has a lot of hair to brush. My favourite songs are: God I need a favour, anything by Lainey Wilson and Give a boy a baseball. I love going to school. I love playing baseball. Teddy Bear was purchased from Lucky Spring Farms. Thank you for raising such a nice heifer and for all of your guidance this year!
