Rotary continues to support 4-H

The Rotary Club of Estevan continued its support of local youth in agriculture during the Rotary 4-H Show and Sale July 9 at the Estevan Exhibition Grounds. Rotarians sponsored an award for the reserve champion female cow, which was won by Riley Lafrentz. Thanks to Rotarians Bill Fonstad, Charles Olsen and Brian McKinnon for helping out during the evening.

This year's auction was once again a success. Fifty-five animals were sold during the event. Colten Brokenshire had the grand champion steer; the 1,358-pound animal sold for $5.00 per pound to Sherritt Coal. Jonathon Geisel had the reserve champion steer; it sold for $3.75 per pound to Redhead Equipment.

The Outram-Madigan, Browning, Crossroads and Benson 4-H Clubs were involved in this year's show.
