We have taken great pleasure all these years in providing the kids of our agricultural community with the opportunity for a fun and exciting way to win the funds to purchase a purebred beef heifer.  Many kids keep these heifers to begin their foundation cattle herds.  Some kids even end up building these herds into commercial operations and become cattle ranchers as adults.  Other kids breed their heifers, sell them, and use the profit to invest in their college career or help with a major purchase.  Regardless, this is a wonderful opportunity for our youth.

The Snake River Stampede Calf Scramble Committee has two exciting announcements.  

            1)  The award amount of each winner’s voucher is up to $1,500.00.  This means that if a winner buys a heifer for $1,200.00, we will pay $1,200.00. 
                  If a winner buys a $3,000.00 heifer, we will pay $1,500.00.  It is our hope that this will be greatly beneficial to the kids.

            2)  The age range of applicants 12 through 17 years.  This year’s Calf Scramble will take place at the Matinee Performance on Saturday, June 20th, 2026. 
                  If you will be 12 through 17 on or before that date, you may apply.  We hope this large age range will enable many 4-Hers and FFAers to join in!
