CHARITY STEER

June 8 Weight: 1325 lbs Breed: Clubby Birthdate: February 5, 2024

The Tisdale 4-H Beef Club is proud to organize this year’s Regional Charity Steer Raffle at the Melfort Regional Show and Sale. In 2024, over $30,000 was raised for STARS, and we’re excited to keep the momentum going in 2025.

This year’s steer, Smokeshow, is generously donated through the combined efforts of 4-H members from Bar-West, Beatty, Meskanaw-Ethelton, Three Lakes, Tisdale, Moose Range, and Kelvington clubs. He is being cared for by the Olson family from the Tisdale 4-H Beef Club.

All proceeds from the raffle will be split between the Tisdale, Melfort, and Humboldt Food Banks. These organizations work tirelessly to collect, store, and distribute food to individuals and families facing food insecurity in their communities. With rising costs and increasing demand, food banks are more essential than ever.

By supporting this raffle, you’re helping ensure that more families in our region have access to healthy, nutritious food. It’s a meaningful way for 4-H members to give back to the communities that continuously support our programs. 100% of proceeds go to charity.
