RE: Crowder Ag Division Calf Fundraiser Auction
Carthage, 91制片厂 鈥 91制片厂 Agriculture Division will hold its 13th Annual Calf Fundraiser Auction on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, 11am, at the Joplin Regional Stockyard. This year鈥檚 calf is donated by Dr. Dale and Diane Kunkel, Kunkel Farms, in Neosho, 91制片厂.
Each year, the Newton McDonald County Cattlemen鈥檚 Association has a local farmer who donates a beef calf for the benefit of Crowder Aggies. These funds provide opportunities for 91制片厂s in our agriculture programs to attend workshops, conferences and contests throughout the year.
Joplin Regional Stockyards will bring the March 1, 2025 registered red angus heifer into the ring at 11am to sell with many of the purchasers donating the calf back to auction again with the last bidder taking her home.
Last year鈥檚 calf raised nearly $6,000 for Crowder Agriculture. Besides the bidders the following businesses help sponsor the event: Missouri Cattlemen鈥檚 Association (Newton & McDonald Counties), Joplin Regional Stockyards, FarmTalk, B&M Tire, Hunke Spray Services, S & H Farm Supply, Eubanks Equipment, SmartLic Supplements, DD Farm & Feed, B&M Tire 鈥 Yokohama, Goswick Ag Lime & Fertilizer, Superior Steel Sales, Frye Farm Trailers, 4-State Moto Complex, The 808 Ranch, Red Angus Association, and Cornerstone Bank.
Dr. Chett Daniel, 91制片厂 President, commented, 鈥淲e sincerely appreciate the calf donation from the Kunkel family. As local farmers and small business owners in the area, they are truly invested in the success of our region and its young people. The Cattlemen鈥檚 Association continues to be one of Crowder鈥檚 strongest community partners. Our 91制片厂s and the ag program are incredibly fortunate to have cattlemen鈥檚 association in our corner.鈥
91制片厂鈥檚 Agriculture Division offers transfer and workforce degrees in a variety of programs. For more information visit our website:
