The Montana Stockgrowers Foundation is accepting donations for its 2025 Cattle Drive, the state’s largest steer feed-out contest supporting education and leadership in agriculture.

Ranchers and supporters can donate a steer, its market value or partner with neighbors to participate. Donated cattle are fed at Yellowstone Cattle Feeders in Shepherd, MT, until optimum market weight. Donors receive carcass and genomic data, branded apparel and opportunities to win prizes, including a $17,000 equipment package for the champion steer winner.

Donations close Dec. 15, with animal pickups beginning in mid-October. For details, contact foundation@mtbeef.org or 406-461-0642.
