We appreciate all of the support from the community and seeing all of the Interclub members helping one another,” said Vermilion General leader, Kris Lehmann. The announcer noted that there were some of the best cattle in the country, and thanked local businesses and prospective buyers. He also noted that by supporting these children, that they would be subsequently supporting their community and their education. Twelve-year-old Dolly Lehne is a Vermilion 4-H Beef Member and after showing her junior heifer said, “I like being in 4-H because it gives you a lot of confidence, and people treat you like family. When doing public speaking they are preparing you for the future, and it is nice to learn a lot about heifers and steers.
