Angus Foundation Heifer Package Sale
Each January, a gracious Angus breeder donates a heifer to the Angus Foundation to be auctioned during the National Bull Sale at Cattlemen's Congress.
Through the years the Foundation Heifer Package has raised more than $2.9 million of unrestricted funds to support the Angus Fund, which provides unrestricted dollars to further the Foundation’s mission of education, youth and research. The Foundation supports a diverse set of efforts focused on ensuring a bright future for the breed. Academic scholarships, leadership conferences and cutting-edge research are among the many programs sustained by the Angus Fund.
Pollard Farms of Waukomis, Okla., will donate the 2025 Angus Foundation Heifer Package in support of furthering education, youth and research. The heifer, Pollard Rita 4012 (AAA* 20875621), is a daughter of EXAR Cover the Bases 0819B and out of a productive, young two-year-old that is on her way to the donor pen; she stems from the PF W34 Rita 4139, a long-time donor in the Pollard program.
The heifer will sell at the National Angus Bull Sale on Jan. 10, at the 2025 Cattlemen’s Congress in Oklahoma City.
“I am honored to donate the Angus Foundation Heifer Package this year,” says Barry Pollard of Pollard Farms. “I think it is an excellent opportunity for me to offer a fine animal for sale to help raise money for the Angus Foundation and the junior program. The Angus Foundation plays an important role in our industry as it is our gateway to the youth. The Foundation is the vehicle to better themselves, to grow and to excel in our world. That is what it is all about, so I am happy to support it.”
