Millarville-Stockland 4-H Beef Club - March Activities

(Page 13)

By Hunter Egeland

What a month!!! March felt more like Winter than Spring. Our club had a quiet month, starting with our regular meeting held on the 9th. All members had to hand in their completed record books. On the 23rd we had our workshop meeting. We got into 3 groups and were handed 4 beef/animal question sheets. We had 20 minutes to answer as many questions as we could. It was a lot of fun and we all learned lots.

We had a member from our club make it all the way to the Regional Level in Public Speaking this year. Shaelynn Brogden advanced at the club level (with her speech on "Rodeo"), next went on to the Area level and then on again to the District level and finally, did very well at the Regional Level (which is as far as an Intermediate can go). Shaelynn has been in our club for 3 years. The first year she was in 4-H she made it all the way to Districts in Public Speaking. She said she really enjoys speaking in front of a crowd and has been told she is a "natural". Congratulations Shaelynn!!!

Our next meeting will be April 13th. Our Achievement Day is fast approaching, so some of our members are scrambling to halter break their animals. I'm so glad I halter broke Gillian (my heifer) when she was a little calf. Her birthday was on March 16th. She is a year old now. Happy Birthday Gillian!!
