Description: Winner Livestock Auction will host an R-CALF USA rollover auction calf sale fundraiser at 12:30 p.m., Friday, Dec. 17. A heifer calf donated by longtime member supporters Lonnie and Pam Dreyer, from Winner, South Dakota, will be auctioned off with all proceeds going to R-CALF USA.
R-CALF USA Region III Director Brett Kenzy will be present to give an R-CALF USA update and answer any questions. Vitalix Inc. will gift whip flags to all contributors who donate over $250 and Multimin USA Inc. will provide cookies.
Rollover auctions are fundraising events put on by R-CALF USA volunteers to raise money for the organization. Those who wish to support the efforts of R-CALF USA can bid on the calf, then donate it back so it can be auctioned off again and again, until bidding ceases.
R-CALF USA is a one-member/one-vote organization. Voting members must own cattle. Associate members support the cause and do not own cattle. Activities carried out by R-CALF USA for the benefit of the U.S. cattle industry are funded exclusively by the independent cattle producers who pay their membership dues and by cattle producers, main-street businesses, and other individuals who participate in and contribute to fundraising events.
R-CALF USA works on various issues that affect the continued profitability and viability of independent U.S. cattle producers, such as mandatory country of origin labeling (MCOOL), checkoff reform, animal identification, livestock price reporting, animal health concerns, captive supplies and packer ownership of livestock, as well as various trade agreements.
