Blackhurst raises Grand Champion Market Steer

Coyote Acres 4-H Club member Gillian Blackhurst stands by her steer Snotty in senior showmanship at the club’s annual show and sale May 26.

Coyote Acres 4-H Club from High Prairie held its Achievement Day Show and Sale May 26 for its Beef Projects.

Buyers, sponsors, and parent volunteers helped make the day a success. Beef buyers came forth to support the club by paying an average or $8.10 per pound with high bids of $16.50/lb which made the members very happy.

Livestock judge for this year’s show was Jesse Emery from the Camp Creek area.

This year’s show and sale was definitely proof of the community coming together. Local businesses showed great support for our 4-H club with many guests watching our show, sharing our meal and staying for the sale. Everyone enjoyed a great meal of beef on a bun prepared by Joanne Starko. All supper groceries were generously donated by Freson Bros. of High Prairie.
