Hello, my name is Shayla Stewart. I am a member of the Wasa & District 4-H club and the 4-H B.C. Ambassador for the Kootenay region. I have been involved in the 4-H community for 10 years, this year being my last as a 4-H member. Outside of 4-H I spend my time studying criminology at the College of the Rockies and going on hikes with my friends. This year I will be showing my 8th steer in 4-H, his name is Jellybean. Jellybean loves eating, sleeping, and being brushed. He is Charolais cross steer with a silly personality. The reason I have chosen to do this breed of cattle is because I believe that Charolais cattle finish faster than other breeds. I hope to see you at our Cranbrook & District 4-H Show & Sale on June 5th!
Hi there! My name is Matthew Reynolds. I am a member of the Wasa &
District 4-H Club. I live on the Kootenay Meadows Ranch on the
Kootenay River near Wasa British Columbia. I am a grade 8 student
(home schooled). I am a CSIA level 1 ski instructor and spend much of
my winter skiing at Kimberley Alpine Resort. In the summer I spend
much of my time in horseback riding events such as roping and barrel
racing.
My 4-H project for this year is a Purebred Black Angus heifer born on February 1, 2021 at Miller Wilson Angus, Bashaw Alberta. With a birth weight of 87 lbs this heifer now weighs approximately 770 lbs with an expected mature growth weight of approximately 1200-1300lbs.
My heifer is not for sale at this time. However, in June 2022, I will be breeding my heifer to a championship calibre Purebred Black Angus bull with a calf expected in the spring of 2023. At that time, I will be entertaining offers on either a top heifer or bull prospect.
I would like to extend my appreciation to Dawn and Lee Wilson of Miller Wilson Angus, Bashaw Alberta for the support which they have provided to me with this 4-H project.
