The WCVM Production Animal Club from the University of Saskatchewan is the winner of the 2014 BCF University Competition. Club members’ adventure back to their childhood days paid off as their Magic School Bus voyage into a cow’s reproductive system won them an Easi-Scan ultrasound system.

Articles were released from local news sources and Devon Wilson, the club’s public relations officer, gave at thankful reaction to the news of winning the competition:
“Thank you,” he said. “That is so exciting; this has all been so much fun.We’ve had so much support up here from local news sources and we even did radio interviews.”
