On Feb. 10 some of the members of our club went on a ski/snowboard trip to Rabbit Hill. It was a blast. West Central Multi species judging was held at Lakedell on Feb. 12. Some of the classes judged were alpacas, beef heifers, dairy cows, horses, photography, and chili. Heidi Trenson from our club placed second for intermediates. Our beef projects continue to do well as we prepare for our show and sale on May 15 and 16. Beef- delicious, nutritious.
