Welcome!!!! We are so excited to kick off the 2020-2021 Beef Club year!!!!!
We are so excited to welcome you all to the 2020-2021 Beef Club Year. We know this year is going to look a little different but we are ready to take whatever challenges arise and make the best of it.
The First Beef Club Meeting will be November 16, 2020 at 7:00pm. This will be a Zoom meeting. For those of you that are new please email and I will send the link for the meeting!!
We will be going over lots of information and rule changes. We will also be speaking on the importance of vaccination in your animas. Please plan to be at the zoom meeting with us as we are excited to start the year!!!!! Please spread the word if you know of any new members and let them know of this date.
The First Beef Club Weigh-in for the 2021 year will be December 12, 2020 from 9:00am-12:00pm at the Shipshewana Auction Barn in Shipshewana, IN on State Road 5. You must be prepared to bring your market and crossbred animals to one of our two offered weigh-ins. You only need to bring your animals to one of the two offered dates.
Please note new this year: You do not need to bring registered purebred heifers to weigh-in. Please also note new this year: All purebred steers and heifers need to have registration papers. We need you to bring the originals for us to weigh-in for your steers; we will make a copy for you. We need to see the originals. We will also check in your purebred heifers. Please bring your purebred heifer registration papers with you. We will make a copy of these papers and get these heifers registered to you for the fair.
We will offer RFID tags if you need them for a charge. Please know you really need to work with your breeders to have these placed for you before weigh-in. We will also offer a pour on wormer for a charge. Monte Flowers will also be set up if you would like to have your calves hooves trimmed.
We are so excited to start the new 4-H year with you!! If you know anyone who is interested in the club please let a leader know we would love to talk with them!! If you have any questions about the new year let us know!! This is going to be a great year!!!
