Owen Friesen Named 2021 Grand Champion For Winkler 4-H Beef Club

Owen Friesen was named the 2021 Grand Champion for the Winkler 4-H Beef Club with his Charolais cross steer.

Owen has been in 4-H for four years. This is his second time earning the title of Grand Champion.

He talked about what the judges are looking for.

"Judges are looking for an animal that has the straightest back. You don't want a sway back in it. The legs should be straight and it should walk correctly. It shouldn't have a bow leg or limp or anything like that."

The steer weighed in at 1,510 lbs.

Video: Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Getting closer to planting season means one thing… it’s time to get EVERYTHING ready.

Today didn’t go exactly as planned—we thought we’d be hauling potatoes again, but instead we spent the day digging equipment out of the cellar, hooking up the grain drill, and getting tractors ready to roll. With wheat planting just around the corner, every piece of equipment matters.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a normal day without a few problems… dead batteries, hydraulic issues, and a truck tire that absolutely refused to cooperate. We tried everything—jump packs, bead bazooka, ratchet straps… and eventually had to bring out the “big guns” just to get things moving again.

But that’s farm life—adapt, fix, and keep moving forward.

We’re getting close to go-time. Wheat seed is coming soon, and planting season is right around the corner
