Creighton Livestock Market Inc. will host an R-CALF USA rollover auction fundraiser for the third year in a row on Saturday, Dec. 9. The event will take place during its upcoming bred cows and pairs sale at approximately 12:30 p.m. after the bred heifers. Paulsen Land and Cattle/Matt Paulsen of Niobrara, Nebraska, will donate a bred heifer to be auctioned off.
R-CALF USA President Brett Kenzy of Gregory, South Dakota, and Vice President Eric Nelson of Moville, Iowa, will be present to answer any questions and speak with producers.
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 animal, then donate it back so it can be auctioned off again and again, until bidding ceases. After the last rollover bid, the animal will be sold with $1,000 of its sale proceeds going to R-CALF USA.
R-CALF USA is set apart from all other national cattle associations because it relies 100% on membership dues and donations to carry out its mission to ensure the continued profitability and independence of United States cattle and sheep producers. It exists only because of support from its members.
R-CALF USA works on various issues such as mandatory country of origin labeling (MCOOL), beef checkoff reform, animal identification, sheep tariffs, animal health concerns, captive supplies, and packer ownership of livestock, as well as various trade agreements.
R-CALF USA encourages producers to get involved and make their collective voice heard. Individuals and businesses supported by the U.S. cattle industry can contact R-CALF USA at (406) 252-2516 or r-calfusa@r-calfusa.com to contribute to the rollover auction.
