OKLAHOMA CITY — The Angus Foundation started the year with strong support for its mission, raising $61,000 through the sale of four heifer pregnancies at Cattlemen’s Congress and the National Western Stock Show. The pregnancies sold in Oklahoma City at the Bases Loaded, Denim and Diamonds and Angus at the Congress sales and in Denver at the Foundation Angus Sale at the National Western Stock Show. Money raised benefits the Angus Fund, which provides unrestricted funding for Angus education, youth and research.
The pregnancies were generously donated by Brinkley Angus Ranch and Lazy H Ranch, Big Timber Cattle Company, Williams Angus and Poss Angus. Lathrop Livestock Services donated complimentary trucking of the females.
“Those who supported our heifer pregnancies weren’t just investing in elite genetics — they were also investing in the future of our breed,” said Jaclyn Boester, Angus Foundation executive director. “We’re thankful to this set of donors and buyers for their commitment to the Angus legacy, as well as the sale management companies who included the pregnancies in their sales.”
The Angus Fund sustains a variety of programs including academic scholarships, leadership conferences and cutting-edge research to enhance the future of the breed. To learn more about the Angus Foundation, visit www.AngusFoundation.org.
