On Friday, July 6, members of the Hanley 4-H Beef Club moved into Prairieland Park for their Regional 4-H Show. Stalls were set up and animals settled in for the busy days of competition ahead.

Saturday morning began with the multi-species judging competition.  Members judged beef heifers, dairy heifers, sheep, light horse and quilts.  Members from the club placed well in the judging competition.

Saturday afternoon members competed in the Stockman’s competition by giving a presentation to the judges on showmanship, grooming, or selecting their project animal.  These scores were combined with judging scores, and Calina Evans placed in the top 10 overall, and was awarded a monetary prize.

In Team Grooming Saturday night, the junior team  of Kennedi Libke, Kaitlyn Yelich, and Kassy Read won their age group, and Calina Evans, Leah Libke and Anne-Marie Collins placed third in a large class of juniors. The senior and intermediate teams represented the club as well.

Sunday morning began early with showmanship competition.  All members competed and Calina Evans was Champion Junior Showman and Shelby Evans was Champion Intermediate Showman. Once all champions were named, they went back in to compete for the Supreme Showmanship title. The Senior Champion was named Supreme Showman, and Calina Evans was honored to be chosen Reserve Champion Supreme Showman.

The Heifer Show was next and Shae-Lynn Evans had Champion Charolais Heifer, with the Reserve going to Calina Evans.  Reserve Champion Cow/Calf went to Calina Evans’s two-year-old pair.

Monday was the day of the big steer show and sale.  Hanley club members winning their weight classes were Wylie Vermette, Kassy Read, Harley Libke and Shelby Evans. Wylie Vermette also went on to have his steer named  one of the Lightweight Division Champions. The steers sold Monday night, and members packed up to head home.  It was a very successful weekend to wrap up a great year. Thanks to everyone for their hard work and to leaders Travis and Shannon Libke for all their organizing and hard work.  4-H begins again in the fall!
