Meet the 2024 Grand & Summit County 4-H & FFA Market Livestock Participants
This is your chance to support the local youth of Grand & Summit counties and purchase locally raised meat! The sale is the columniation of a lot of hard work over the last year and the celebration of the completion of the 108th Middle Park Fair & Rodeo. Come out and support 4-H and FFA members who have raised market beef, lamb, swine, goat, rabbits and poultry. Supporting the youth of our communities through the sale allows local kids to earn scholarship money, save for college or trade school, pursue other dreams, purchase animals for future projects and much, much more.

ELLIE THURSTON
Hi, my name is Ellie Thurston and this is my 3rd year in 4-H. I am 10 years old and in 5th grade. I am a junior member of the Grand Animals 4-H Club. This will be my last year as a junior. I successfully completed my first two years with showing my horse Rue, raising and selling steers, and market pigs. This year I will be raising two market steers, Chip and Dale, two market pigs, Minnie and Mickey, and showing my favorite horse Rue. All my animals are my favorite this year. I have been working hard on feeding all my animals twice a day, bathing/brushing them, and exercising my animals and now that it is warmer, I can start riding my horse. My goal this year is to try to get Reserve Champion market steer. I also want to learn to lope in the correct leads. My favorite part of 4-H is to show my animals at fair. When I grow up I want to be a paleontologist or a wildlife officer. I love to learn as much as I can about animals and 4-H is a great starting place. I plan on using my proceeds from the sale to purchase more animals next year and to help pay for all their food. I hope to see you at the Middle Park Fair Junior Livestock Sale and would like to thank you for your support in the 4-H program.

This year I qualified to attend Nationals in Utah in April 2024 and placed 145 out of 291. The money I earn this year will go to my archery program, steers and pigs for next year.

KENNA WALL
Hello! My name is Kenna Wall and I would like to invite you to the 2024 MPFR Jr Livestock Sale! I’m a senior member of the Homesteaders 4-H club and currently serve as their treasurer. This is my 11th year in 4-H and my projects are market steer, swine, goat and lamb. As you can imagine these projects keep me very busy. When I am not in the barn feeding, exercising, fitting, or caring for my animals, I enjoy riding my horses, playing basketball, running track, hanging out with family and friends, hunting, hiking, paddle boarding or really anything outdoors.
My goal this year for all my market projects is to have them be high graded, quality market animals.
I have learned the best ways to achieve that goal and applied them to my current projects.
My steers; BAS and John were born in North and Middle Park, so they are naturally adapted to the climate and high elevation.
My piggies are named Minnie Winnie and Mickey Ricky. Their feeding program is probably the hardest to maintain, just because they are very different type hogs and must be fed accordingly. Pete and Bean, my goats are both good market projects and have a balanced diet and exercise program.
Last but not least, is my lamb Beefcake. We feed him a lot like the goats and he does great.
I work hard so anyone who buys my animals to feed their families with will be getting a prime market animal.
I strive to make sure I’m doing my part in keeping the world fed, and fed right.
My future plans are to attend NJC or CMU and get my nursing degree. I know no matter where I end up in life, the lessons learned and memories made in the barn and throughout this great program I will carry with me forever!
Thank you and I hope to see you all at the fair in August!
