The CGA received the following letter from Wyatt Horvey

     Thank you to the Canadian Galloway Association for the money for winning interclub champion heifer. This is my third year in 4-H. So far each year I've had a purebred galloway. This year is the first year I've had a female.
     In my first year I had a silver steer. He kicked me a few times. I didn't win much, but I did get the efficiency award.
     In my second year I had a black steer. He was very nice to me until the show day. At the show, he stepped on my toe a lot, but we did do good at the show. We got first in showmanship and second in grooming. I also did well in public speaking that year where I got first in Juniors in my club.
     My third year (the year I just finished) was the first year I took a heifer. Her name is Trinity. She is my first steer's sister but she really liked me, unlike her brother! We did really well at achievement day this year. I got first in the interclub yearling heifer class. I got second in showmanship in my club, and I got first in public speaking in my club this year.
     My heifer is very tame now and as big as some of my dad's cows.
     So far, that is my 4-H experience.
Thanks again,
Wyatt Horvey

Congratulations Wyatt!

The following letter from Christina Jones of British Columbia was received by the CGA

Thank you very much for the 4-H award for my heifer Nimmo Reid Reason, who won Reserve Champion Homegrown Heifer with me at Chilliwack Fair last summer. Reason had a great bull calf from our bull Reggie on January 1st of this year. I named him Twenty X and I am very excited to show Reason and Twenty X as my 4-H cow/calf project this year. She is a great mom.
Thanks again for helping to support me with my 4-H projects.

Yours truly, Christina Jones.

Congratulations to Christina on her accomplishments, as well as being awarded $50.00 by the Canadian Galloway Association on her Reserve Champion at an Interclub show.

The following letter from Quentin Jones was received by the CGA

Thank you very much for the award for my 4-H project last year. Ruthie and I won Champion Homegrown Heifer at the Pacific National Exhibition in Vancouver. I was so excited when we won that banner. The PNE is our biggest fair for 4-H.

Ruthie was my first 4-H animal as last year was my first year also! We did really well together. I won many rosettes with her in showmanship as well as project. We had a great year.

Thanks again, Quentin Jones

Note: Quentin received an award of $100.00 from the Canadian Galloway Association for his Championship at an Interclub show. Congratulations!

Congratulations to Erik on receiving an award of $20.00 for completing his project with a Galloway calf.
