Camrose Interclub 4-H
SHOW & SALE
In 4-H Beef Clubs, children and youth are taught practical skills that no textbook can, by raising calves from a young age. Every year, local kids pick out their calves and begin their journey. They feed them, monitor their growth, and train them to be calm and show ready. They deal with setbacks, celebrate small victories, and learn to care for a living creature rain or shine. The experience teaches more than just cattle care. These young ranchers learn time management, budgeting, animal health, marketing and the importance of being present and responsible. They track feed, monitor weight gain and prepare their animals for the sale. The Camrose district has seen growth in 4-H enrollment and this year, there are 70 steers available at the Show and Sale on June 3 at the Bashaw Agricultural Society Grounds.
