Fertig

Because this is Tyler's last year, he decided to name is steer "Fertig," which is German for finished. After six years of German classes it is no surprise that all but one of his steers were named German words. His first year he named his steer "Donner," which means thunder. The next year he decided on "Boden Rindfleisch," which translates into "ground beef." Later, we met a German couple camping near Bear Lake and discovered that the word "Boden" means ground, as in, the floor. Oops! During his third year, he had no idea of what to name his steer, so he named it "Duunoyet" (don't-know-yet.) And two years ago — he took a break last year — he chose "Klein" which means small. Ironic, because his steer was the largest at the fair that year. We didn't think Tyler would be showing again this year, because he didn't do it last year and we thought he was done, but he surprised us last minute (or about as close to last minute as you can get in this business) and said he wanted to do it one last time.  So, Fertig, you should consider yourself a lucky steer!

Where's the beef?

It's in our backyard! Tyler, Kaylee, and Bryson are raising three black angus X maine-anjou show steers for the Weber County Fair. This is Tyler's fifth and final year, since he has graduated is will be off to college this fall and a mission next year.  Bryson has shown steer in the fair for the past two years and is excited to be an "old pro" now that he's eleven.  Kaylee is our most experiences cattle hand.  This is her sixth steer!

We're very grateful to 4-H and the Weber County Fair for the hard-work ethic, leadership, and skills that this experience provides.  Now that Tyler's getting ready for college, he's especially grateful to all of the buyers, boosters, and supporters over the years.  We couldn't have done it without you!
