The Springside 4-H Beef Club held their 2021 Achievement Day on July 5, at the Yorkton Exhibition Grounds, Horse Arena.

Our show was a little different this year, as were many events this year.

During the planning phase, the Judging and Grooming classes were put on hold for this year.

Questionnaires were completed by the members during the morning.
