g showmen' pre
he Queen's Guineas
This Friday's Queen's
Guineas steer competition at
the Royal Agricultural
Winter Fair in Toronto, will
be the culmination of several
months of hard work for
almost 400 young 4-H
members from across the
province. Included in that
group will be three young
showmen from the Wingham
- area.
Jacquie Robertson of RR
1, ,Bluevale and Meribeth
Scott of .RR 1, Belgrave, will
both be competing at the
Royal for the first time this
year. Paul Johnston of RR 1,
Bluevale, a veteran of two
previous Queen's Guineas
competitions, also will show
at this year's Royal.
Jacquie, the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Bill Robertson
and a Grade 12 student at' the
F. E. Madill. Secondary
School, said she is somewhat
nervous about showing her
Hereford steer, Duncan, at
the Royal, although she has
shown it at fairs in Brussels
and Seaforth.
Jacquie selected the steer
for the competition from a
truckload of cattle her father
got from •.the West. The
animal is on a special feed
mix which provides it with
protein and energy, and
Jacquie reported it was
doing well, • making the
required 2.3 pounds per day
weight gam. .
' The animals selected for
the competition are weighed
first in May and must weigh
no more than 750 pounds.
They must gain an average
of 2.3 pounds per day bet-
ween then and the second
xrweigh-in in October.
It takes a lot of time and
patience to prepare an
animal for competition,
Jacquie said, but added that
Duncan has been coopera-
tive and relatively easy to
' train, although it does have
"its stubborn moments".
She said she learned how
to train her steer through her
4-H club experience. When
she first started to train the
beast, Jacquie would put it in
a crate and brush it, so it
would get used to her.
Then she trained it to stop
and start by leading it behind
a tractor and wagon with a
"halter.
Jacquie reported that she
will work steadily with
Duncan the week before the
competition, grooming and
brushing its coat and tail and
walking it around the yard.
It is easy to get attached to
an animal and Jacquie
admitted she will be sad to
see Duncan go when all the.
animals are sold at the sale
after the competition. But
she added she hopes to
compete at the Queen's
Guineas again next year.
Meribeth Scott, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Murray
PAUL JOHNSTON, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ken Johnston of RR 1, Bluevale, and a stu-
dent at Centralia College of Agricultural Technology, will enter his Limousin steer,
Blondie, in the Queen's Guineas competition at this year's Royal Agricuftural Winter
Fair to be held in Toronto this week.

MERIBETH SCOTT'S Simmental steer, Clyde, came from Clyde, Alberta, and thus ,
the name. Meribeth will be one of nearly 400 young 4-H members competing for the
Queen's Guineas at this week's Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in .Toronto.
HEADED FOR THE ROYAL—Jacquie Robertson, a Grade 12 student at the F. E.
Madill Secondary School, will travel to the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair this week to
show her steer, Duncan, in the Queen's Guineas competition
)
.y� P
wunl9yc�k '�.u:Urd4Y:H="-'U'At�.
Scott and another Grade 12
student at Madill, said that
training a steer for com-
petition "is a lot of work, but
it's fun".
Meribeth's Simmental
steer Clyde, from Clyde,
Alberta, will be entered in
the crossbred class at the
Royal because she does not
have a sire's registration.
Since the May 15 weigh-in,
Meribeth's steer hat gamed
ran impressive 3.4 pods per
day. The beast placed first in
Meribeth's own club at the
Brussels fair and was
declared the reserve grand
champion at the Seaforth
fair.
Meribeth walks her steer
in and out the lane and
brushes and grooms it every
day for the competition. She
reported it was an easy
animal to train.
Clyde has a small problem
with skittishness, but
Meribeth said she hopes it
will not affect his per-
formance in the ring. She
said he • is used .to loud
machinery and 'added 'she
has tried to get him ac-
.customed to people as well.
Like Jacquie, Meribeth
admitted she will miss Clyde
after the sale and added
there will "probably be a few
tears shed". She too, hopes
to be able to show again at
next year's Royal.
VETERAN SHOWMAN
Paul Johnston; son of 'Mr.
and Mrs. Ken Johnston and a
student at the Centralia
College__of ,Agricultural
Technology, is a' seasoned
veteran of , two previous
Queen's Guineas com-
petitions.
-Paul's Limousin steer,
Blondie, is one of four beasts
he bought in January of this
year. When the May weigh-in
arrived, the other three
weighed too much to • be
eligible for .the competition,
therefore Blondie was the
automatic choice,
The ,animal does not get
any special feed, Paul said,
just a half -corn, half -barley
mix. It has-gaiyied an
average o tbreg;.ponnds per
day.
Paul said his steer has
been easy to train, although
he hasn't been able to spend
as much time with it as he'd
like to because he's'away at
college all week.
' The first year that Paul
showed an animal at the
Royal, he made it to the first
row of competitors, but last
year . he was called out
because one horn was too
long: He said. he has cut
Blondie's horns twice
already'.
Paul is undecided whether
he will compete for the
Queen's Guineas again next
year or not because he said
hedoesn't really have
enough time.
When Paul finishes his
course at Centralia, he will
return home to farm.
"I wouldn't do anything
`" else.
