there was given me a thorn in my

in verse 8 when he says “Three
times I pleaded with the Lord to

As the Belgrave Pet Club mem

safety, and presenting your animal,
the topics of the meetings were
fresh on our minds.

in charge of a ball team for the July
28 celebration of 75 years of 4H.
The guest speaker, Dr. Ken
Bridge, spoke on his experiences as
a vet. He covered the areas of
cow-calf, feedlot, 4H calves and
what you should do to keep your
herd healthy. He covered different
diseases, what you should watch
for in each calf, and methods of
prevention. He demonstrated giv
ing three different needles.
Timing is critical in most things
and this was no exception as one of
the Alton’s dairy cows was about to
give birth. This was a new experi
ence for some and valuable for all
members. Members viewed a video
on parts of the calf and the need for
fatty areas.
