4-H club tours
local beef farm
By Janelle Clarke
EXETER — The
South Huron 4-H club
held their second
meeting at the Angus
beef farm of Wayne
and Dan
Shapton on
Mon., April
28. The
roll call
question
was "what
is the
name and
breed of your calf or
name one body part
of a beef animal."
Quality without
growth hormones
Dan Shapton
explained many
things to us. Some of
the highlights were
his explanation of
artificial insemina-
tion, flushing, and
tit'
what to look for when
breeding cows. He
encouraged the mem-
bers to pick out
attributes that would
make a good beef ani-
mal. Their farm
philosophy is to
Iy raise a quality
Angus product
through
genetics with-
out the use of
any growth hor-
mones. They
breed their herd to
show, to fatten for
market and to replace
their own stock.
Thanks to the
Shaptons for giving us
a tour of their farm.
The next meeting is
at Andrea Hern on
Mon., May 12 at 7
p.m.
