Lucknow 4 -Her
wins Queen's
Guineas
A Lucknow-area 4 -Her was named
grand champion of the Queen's
Guineas at the Royal Winter Fair in
November.
Brad Gilchrist is the third 4 -Her
from the Lucknow area to win the
prestigious top award for beef 4-H
club members in Ontario. Previous
winners were Kim Higgins and
Murray Gaunt.
While farmers may think beef
prices don't change much, the prize
money for winning the Guineas does.
When Gaunt won in the late 1950s he
received $2.50 a pound for the sale of
his calf. Gilchrist received $23 a
pound for his 1,294 -pound Maine -
Anjou -Angus -cross which was
purchased by Loblaws.
He plans to use the prize to pay off
cows he has bought to start his own
herd.
Gilchrist told the Lucknow Sentinel
that he knew he had a good calf and
thought he might be in the top 10 but
when he won, "It was awesome."0
