(Applications due June 10)
The Snake River Stampede takes great pleasure providing the youth of our agricultural community 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 even end up building these herds into commercial operations and become cattle ranchers as adults! Other kids breed their heifers, then 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 winners are required to return the next spring and show their heifer at the Calf Scramble Livestock Show. They are also encouraged to show their heifer at local county fairs and other local breed shows.
The Snake River Stampede Calf Scramble event was established in 1999 and has donated over $250,000 to encourage free enterprise, responsibility, and educational opportunity for the youth of the Treasure Valley.
So, do you think you have the mooooooooves to catch a cow?
To apply for consideration, competitors must be ages 12 to 17 by the date of this year’s scramble which is on June 21 matinee. You must also commit to the calf scramble requirements and 4-H or FFA programs.
Any previous Calf Scramble winner may not apply a second time. A drawing will determine the 25 total contestants.
