Aaliyah Aldridge - Lot #55
Hi, my name is Aaliyah Aldridge and I am 10 years old. I have been a member of the Horsefly 4-H Club for three years, but this is my first year as a junior member and for my first project, I have chosen to raise a market steer. My steer’s name is Sven and he is a black Angus. I chose to raise an Angus steer because I know that they have great quality of meat and a lot of it. Sven has been a very easy steer and he loves his grain! I have been feeding him Altwasser and he has all the hay he wants. I hope to see you at Show and Sale.

K099 started out on just rolled oats and hay as well as alfalfa cubes. She has moved to sheep texture and grass. Every day K099 goes for a walk with her companion lamb, Tulip.
