Estevan Mercury Nelson Motors 4-H Member of the Month

“I like showing the animals,” said Anavay.

This year her heifer Lexi was in the Benson club’s achievement day, and Lexi was named the grand champion heifer and the reserve champion female. 

And she is looking forward to showing a heifer named Aurora and a steer named Aladdin next year.

She has also entered the 4-H sale in Arcola.

While she has enjoyed the cattle show, horses are her first love. When she joined 4-H, she wanted to be part of a horse club. But then she realized she could take the money she makes from the sale of her steer and direct it towards buying a pony, whom she named Sparkles.

You Be The Judge: Evaluating 8 Breeding Rams!

Video: You Be The Judge: Evaluating 8 Breeding Rams!

It's time for some honest feedback here at Ewetopia Farms! Today, we’re showing you all eight rams we used for breeding this year. Instead of just presenting them, we thought it would be fun to create a “Ram Report Card” — where we point out both their strengths and areas for improvement.

But here’s the twist: you be the judge! In the comments, let us know what you like about each ram and what you think could be improved. No ram is ever perfect, but every one of them brings something valuable to the flock. By sharing perspectives, we all learn more about what to look for in good breeding stock.

At Ewetopia Farms, we raise registered Suffolk and Polled Dorset sheep, focusing on high-quality genetics, structure, and friendly temperaments. Evaluating breeding rams is part of the bigger picture of building stronger flocks — and we’re excited to share the process with you.
