Provincial 4-H Judging held in Moosomin

Advancing from six regional competitions held between April and July, 38 4-H members from all corners of the province met in Moosomin, on August 23-24, 2019 for the Saskatchewan 4-H Provincial Judging competition, presented by title sponsor: Viterra.
 
Despite over two inches of rain pouring down, it didn’t dampen their spirits, and the weekend was a success. Participants learned a lot as they competed in seven different judging classes over the two days. Competitive judging is a great opportunity to develop critical thinking skills and to help train and educate future judges for the livestock industry!

The program began on Friday evening with a supper, orientation, and the first judging class: Cheddar Cheese sponsored by Saputo. On Saturday, the majority of the competition was held at Second Wind Stables where our participants judged yearling beef bulls, market lambs, performance quarter horses, native pasture grasses, grain, and a mystery class: cut flowers. Participants also completed a quiz testing their knowledge on all of the categories. 

After the judging was complete, participants attended an awards banquet held at the Moosomin Legion Hall with a meal sponsored by Plains Midstream Canada. During the program, top judges in each category were recognized.
  • Cheddar Cheese - Jessica Davey
  • Grains - Justin Harcourt
  • Beef - Wyatt Dyck
  • Market Lamb - Wyatt Millar
  • Grass - Emily Letendre
  • Horse - Doug Sroka 
  • Cut Flowers - Leah Libke
  • Quiz - Ellen Keys

Finally, the top place competitors were announced (aggregate scores). The top eight finalists will form Team 4-H Saskatchewan. They will move on to compete against other provincial 4-H and collegiate teams at Canadian National 4-H & Youth Judging Competition during Agribition in November. 
Top Place Overall Competitors: 
  1. Kyle Kirzinger, Viscount 4-H Beef Club
  2. Faith Stevens, Catherwood Beef & Sheep 4-H Club

We're fortunate to have generous supporters.

Lastly, thank you to SAASE (Saskatchewan Association of Agriculture Societies and Exhibitions) and the hosting committees in Swift Current, Saskatoon, Weyburn, Whitewood, Prince Albert and Lloydminster for partnering with 4-H to offer competitive judging events.  Judging is a great way to develop critical thinking skill. All 4-H members are encouraged to attend regional judging in the spring/summer of 2020 for their chance to move on to provincials next year. ​

Saskatoon, Sask.- The 23rd annual 4-H Saskatchewan draw was held on August 21 at 1 p.m. at the Provincial 4-H Office in Saskatoon.
 
During the draw, Executive Director Cera Youngson had some exciting news about the lottery this year.
 
“The lottery has raised $1 million in sales since it started in 1996,” Youngson said. “It is great to see so many people are supporting 4-H Saskatchewan and their local 4-H clubs in the province.”
 
The 4-H Lottery is an annual fundraiser for the 4-H program in Saskatchewan, with all the proceeds directly supporting the 4-H movement in our province. This year, there were 7,638 individual tickets sold and 5,621 50/50 add-on tickets sold.
 
The lottery raised $50,345, with $25,197.60 going directly back to the 28 clubs and District 4-H Councils, which participated by selling the lottery tickets. District #36 was the top seller with $5,504 in ticket sales.
 
Congratulations to the Grand Prize winners:
