The Dauphin and District 4-H Beef and Sheep Show and Sale has been cancelled for this year.
Committee President Talya Stykalo says many options were evaluated for the June show and sale that's in partnership with the Dauphin Ag Society — but calls the cancellation a necessary decision that was not made lightly.
Despite the cancellation, Stykalo says 4-H will still have their market animals for sale, because “these kids have had these projects since October/November, and have been putting money into feed and working with them. So it is important they get sold.”
4-H market projects will still be for sale for meat only, directly through 4-H members. If you are interested in purchasing a market steer or lamb for consumption, you can contact a 4-H member or reach out to the committee.
Going forward, the committee president tells us they’re looking at the possibility of hosting the female side of the show in the fall time, depending on government regulations at that time.
“We want to ensure that we do this safely for our community.”
The committee is thanking all sponsors, buyers, and community members for their support.
