Flathead County 4-H Beef

06/12/2026

⚠️⚠️⚠️ Update:

With office/space discrepancy we will be utilizing the old beef barn(small building furthest north on the west side) and the mild fence arena area as soon as the hog committee is done with their clinic.

Please be prepared to be outside and or have cattle tied to wait at trailers. Please come in through the light on Meridian and go around the set of buildings to the south.

Please be mindful of traffic and parking in a reasonable manner. Park vehicles and trailers between the scale and west fence line. (Closest to Meridian) The scale needs to be accessible and accommodate for lots of trailer traffic. The fairgrounds is BUSY with funerals, events etc.

THANK YOU

Upcoming Dates and a reminder for the April Weigh-In!

4-H Exhibitors please attend the Friday or Saturday weigh-in at the Fairgrounds. We encourage cattle to be haltered and manageable.

With muddy weather, please be mindful of mud. Cattle health can drastically change for the worse in multiple manners.

"Research has shown that mud up to eight inches deep will decrease feed intake up to 15% while mud up to ten inches can decrease intake by as much as 30%. This results in reduced gains, lower milk production, and an overall decrease in animal performance."

Sounds like a lot of mud? Perhaps, but this doesnt address the issue of mud also STUCK to your animals' hide and hair. Try your best to keep these guys clean before it becomes a buildup.
An excellent article from PSU and studies in livestock health.
