Description – Huron Continental Marketing will host an R-CALF USA rollover calf sale fundraiser to benefit R-CALF USA and its state affiliate, the Independent Beef Association of North Dakota (I-BAND). The fundraiser will take place at 11:15 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 3, in Huron, South Dakota.

To ensure supporters across the region can participate, the event will also be livestreamed on www.cattleusa.com, allowing anyone unable to attend in person to watch the sale and place bids online.

R-CALF USA Region III Director Ron Volk, who also serves on the I-BAND board of directors, will donate a heifer calf for auction. All proceeds from the sale will be split 50/50 between R-CALF USA and I-BAND.

Before the auction begins, Volk will provide a brief update on the organizations’ ongoing work on key issues affecting independent U.S. cattle and sheep producers, including mandatory country of origin labeling (MCOOL), checkoff reform, animal identification, animal health concerns, and trade.

Rollover auctions are volunteer-driven fundraising events in which supporters bid on a donated calf and then donate it back, allowing it to be auctioned repeatedly until bidding concludes. After the final rollover bid, the calf will be sold to the highest bidder.

R-CALF USA stands apart from other national cattle associations because it relies solely on membership dues and donations to carry out its mission to ensure the continued profitability and independence of U.S. cattle and sheep producers.

Businesses or individuals who wish to support the U.S. cattle industry and contribute to the rollover auction may contact R-CALF USA at 406-252-2516 or r-calfusa@r-calfusa.com.
