A pen of premium Charolais yearling bulls relax and seem to be soaking up the afternoon sun as their fate is decided in the nearby farm shop in which buyers from near and far were bidding on them. People were packed into the shop at Palmer Charolais last Monday, March 11, for the sale. About 200 people turned out for the lunch and then stayed for the sale that offered 57 yearling and seven two-year-old Charolais bulls from Palmer Charolais. There were also 44 Red and Black Angus yearling bulls and eight Red and Black Angus heifers from Nielson Land & Cattle Co. of Craik on offer.
DAVIDSON—A noon hour collision last Tuesday, Feb. 26, at Highway 11’s south entrance to Davidson has town officials once again calling for a reduced speed limit zone in that area.
At about 12:25 p.m. Tuesday, members from Craik RCMP detachment and Davidson Volunteer Fire Department responded to a two-vehicle collision at the busy intersection.
The collision occurred when a vehicle that was turning south onto Highway 11 was merging onto the highway. Meanwhile, a southbound vehicle travelling at highway speed moved over to the passing lane and struck a vehicle that was merging on to the highway from the other side.
Craik RCMP Sgt. Robb Karaim said both drivers were taken to the hospital in Davidson to be checked out and were released.
Just because there were no serious injuries this time, Craik RCMP as well as Davidson town councillors want the Department of Highways to take action to improve the safety of the intersection.

Now that there is snow on the ground, the sleds are coming out. Mike Beckie took his 1968 Bolens Diablo Rouge for a spin last Thursday. The vintage sled features an articulated design with the seat overtop the skis and the engine sitting above the tracks. It’s a fun machine that comfortably seats three adults.
