Leann Wegman was recognized as the Winona 4-H Youth Representative for the month of October.
She is the daughter of Paula and David Wegman, a member of the Saratoga Challengers 4-H Club and a senior at Lewiston Altura High School. Leann has exhibited dairy steers, dairy heifers as well as beef heifers, and cow/calf pairs. The beef project is her favorite project because she has raised her beef project from calves and is beginning her own herd.
Leann says “ I enjoy showing them and seeing how well my own cattle do. My favorite 4-H memory was showing my own beef for the first time and doing better than I imagined.”
Although Leann has had many accomplishments in the show ring with her beef and dairy steer projects when asked what her greatest accomplishment in 4-H has been she responded, “My greatest accomplishment is the friends I have made along the way who were also my biggest competition. Those friends are what makes 4-H even more fun.”
Leann has participated in ditch clean-up with her 4-H Club, attended the U of MN Gopher Dairy Camp, and exhibited at the Winona County Fair and MN State Fair 4-H Encampment. Winona Sunrisers Kiwanis Club honors one outstanding Winona County 4-H member during its breakfast meeting on the fourth Wednesday of each month.
The club meets on a weekly basis every Wednesday at 7 a.m. at the Winona Family Restaurant in Winona.
