The 2019 4-H Beef Symposium was held on February 23 in Saskatoon. The day started with greeting from Cera Youngson, executive director of 4-H Saskatchewan. She also introduced the Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association’s What’s Your Beef Trivia Contest for all 4-H members. This contest is for all 4-H members, no matter what project they are in. More details are available on the 4-H website. After greeting and a quick icebreaker game, there were two presentations by students at the University of Saskatchewan’s Western College of Veterinary Medicine. Vanessa Cowan, a PHD student, spoke first about the dangers of ergot in feed for cattle. She was followed by Kendra Elliot, a Veterinary Medicine student and former 4-H member, who spoke about the importance of vaccination. Once the presentations were finished, Kendra played a couple rounds of bovine trivia with the 4-H members before a break for lunch. After lunch, the 4-H members bundled up and headed out to the Livestock Forage Centre of Excellence to tour the facility and learn about the research happening by students. The 4-H members were all thrilled to see the livestock there and had the chance to touch some of the cattle. After the tour ended and a group photo was taken, the 4-H members piled back into the vehicles to go back to the U of S, where they had a snack and filled out their evaluation forms. 4-H Saskatchewan would like to thank the Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association for being a title sponsor for this event. This event would not be possible without their generous support.

Tisdale, Sask.- It was an amazing weekend of curling, with 4-H teams from across the province coming to compete for the title of champion. Provincial 4-H Curling was held in Tisdale on February 15-17, hosted by clubs of District #26 Council, including Tisdale 4-H Beef Club, South Star 4-H Club and Arborfield 4-H Multiple Club. 4-H curling is a great opportunity for 4-H members to get out, be active and have fun. The curling teams had to place at their district and regional events, before moving to the Provincial 4-H Curling Competition. The event started with a few draws and opening ceremonies on Friday evening. There was a full day of curling on Saturday, with a banquet program and dance in the evening. On Sunday, the final draws took place and the winners were announced. The senior winners were: first place, Maidstone Gully/Manitou Lake 4-H Clubs; second place, Hilltop 4-H Club; and third place, Alameda 4-H Beef Club. The junior winners were: first place, Tisdale 4-H Beef Club; second place, Sunset Rangers Multiple 4-H Club; and third place, Springside 4-H Beef Club.
