YORKTON - It was a veritable ‘bovine beauty salon’ as 4-H members groomed their cattle in Yorkton Thursday and Friday.
Clubs from Sheho to Cymri, Neudorf to Weyburn, and Kelvington to Candiac converged on the city for the 29th annual Yorkton 4-H Spring Steer & Heifer Show.
The three-day event meant the cattle had to look just right in the show ring and members were hard at work washing, blowing, and combing ahead of the show.
The show itself was a split affair over two days with the Jackpot Show Friday afternoon with Dean Sentes judging, and the 4-H Open Show Saturday with Kurtis Reid the judge.
Ryder Beutler of the Whitewood 4-H Beef Club showed the Grand Champion steer in the Jackpot Show, with Trinities Beres of the Goodeve 4-H Beef Club showing the reserve champion.
The Grand Champion heifer in the Jackpot Show was shown by Abby Tomblin of the Sheho 4-H Beef Club, with Scarlett Englot with the Candiac 4-H Beef Club capturing the reserve.
In the Open Heifer Show it was Emily Sebastian with the Candiac Club taking grand champion honours with the reserve championship going to an entry from Avvi Brehaut of the Wawota 4-H Beef Club.
The Open Show steer champion was an entry from Carter Gaudy of the Weyburn 4-H Beef Club. The reserve champion was shown by Eric Fetes of the Radville 4-H Beef Club.
The show also featured grooming clinics Thursday followed by a team grooming competition, and Friday had a judging competition on the agenda.
