Ranchers-Cattlemen Action Legal Fund (R-CALF) USA raised more than $40,000 at a fundraiser in December at Fort Pierre Livestock Auction for the national Beef Checkoff Referendum Campaign. The money from the calf sale will go directly toward campaign efforts.
A market-ready steer was donated by Vaughn and Lois Meyer of Reva, SD, and Kenzy Backgrounding in Gregory, S.D. U.S. Beef Producers in Ft. Pierre, SD, donated the processing of the animal.
R-CALF USA Field Director Karina Jones said, “This rollover fundraiser was unique in the fact that we used our national checkoff committee to bring in donations from across the United States. The fact that we received donations from 16 different states—from California to Kentucky and North Dakota to Texas—tells us how much support there is for this campaign.”
