Charolais 4-H Winners
When your area 4-H clubs have their shows if Charolais or Charcross animals are champions we would like to share that online and in the Fall Connection. We would like a hi-resolution picture along with the members name and town, the date and club or regional name and who the judge was. If it is a steer we would also like the weight and selling price to go with it. See the example below from the Holden show. Good luck to all the 4-H members.
