Stockgrowers to fatten up
scholarship with herd sale
By Kathleen Ellyn
Wallowa County Chieftain
The Wallowa County Stock-
growers Association is prepar-
ing to sell a herd of 20 market
heifers, bred to Alan Klages’
Calving-Ease Red Angus bulls.
A nice little starter herd, priced
at $2,300 per head.
The money raised from the
sale of the herd will go into the
Stockgrowers Scholarship Fund
WR EHQH¿W GHVHUYLQJ :DOORZD
County agriculture students for
years to come.
“The proceeds of the sale
will go to our heifer scholarship
program where eighth-, ninth-
and 10th-grade students can
apply to receive a bred heifer,”
Klages said. “The top-choice
student receives a bred heifer,
and heifer calves go to second
and third place.”
Winning students actually
get to go out and select the heifer
they want and the Stockgrowers
will pay for it.
In addition, Wallowa County
Hay Growers pledged to pro-

dents who are awarded heifers.
The success of the program
was illustrated recently when

and Karen Rinehart of Joseph,

she was awarded in 2011 (and
one she already had purchased)
to a herd she sold to pay for two

where she’s majoring in agricul-
ture education.
“She’s been selling steers out
of those cows for four years,”
said Karen Rinehart. “This year
she sold a heifer from her Stock-
growers cow to a seventh-grad-
er in Lostine who will show it in
FFA next year.”
“It’s a great program,” Klag-
es said. “It teaches kids animal
husbandry, responsibility and
business skills all at the same
time.”
The heifer program started in
2010, but the scale of this year’s

fundraiser is new. Local Stock-
grower Todd Nash brought
the idea back from a Umatilla
County Cattleman’s Association
annual meeting he attended with
Klages.
“They had a program they
put together, where ranchers
were going to donate a heifer
and they ended up with 50 heif-
ers they gave away,” Klages
said.
Nash presented the idea to
Wallowa County Stockgrowers
and the local cattlemen quickly
pledged 20 Angus and bald-face
commercial heifers.
The heifers were summered
on pasture on Midway, 15 miles
east of Enterprise on the edge of
the Zumwalt country. The Na-
ture Conservancy plans to credit
Stockgrowers back for the pas-
ture rent as another contribution
to the scholarship fund, Klages
said.
The scholarship/heifer fund
was additionally fattened by
sales of the rockjacks built at
this summer’s World Champi-
onship Rockjack Building Con-
test at the Wallowa County Fair.
One sold at the Wallowa County
Stockgrowers Banquet in Au-
gust to Janie Tippet, and with
add-ons resulted in a total of
$1,750 for the scholarship fund.
