It’s that time of year again where some of the best beef in the countryside will be on the auction block.
The Hussar, Standard Gleichen and Cluny 4-H Show and Sale is this Sunday at the Hussar Arena. The dedication, know-how and plain hard work of the 4-H’ers in the area will be on display on Sunday morning as 22 animals will be expertly judged and eventually sold to the highest bidder.
Kim Sandum says there are 22 calves up for auction this year, the bulk are from the Hussar area. There are four coming from the dedicated youth of the Gleichen-Cluny region.
The show starts a 10 a.m. where the animals will be put through the paces and adjudicated by top-notch experts.
Last year Ciara Sandum was the Grand Champion and Shane Fraser was the Reserve Champion.
This is the centennial year of the 4-H and the clubs involved in the show will be marking the occasion with a cake at their show.
At 3 p.m. the sale will begin. Darren Rebalkin will once again be lending his talents to the auction to help the youngsters fetch top dollar for their animals. They will also be auctioning their annual charity calf in benefit of the Hussar Ag Society.
This auction is a great way to showcase your business to the community as well as show support for the hardworking youngsters in the community.
Happy bidding!
