AGJA Fundraisers

AGJA Donation Heifer, Sullivan’s Beast Blower or $1000 Cash Raffle

Each year, the American Gelbvieh Junior Association (AGJA) holds a heifer raffle to raise funds for the association and its members. All proceeds benefit AGJA programs, events, and activities fostering industry education, growth, and leadership! The AGJA continues to provide leadership opportunities to AGJA members and provide everyday services to its members, thanks in large part to the support of fundraiser efforts just like this one.

We extend our sincere appreciation to Beastrom Ranch of South Dakota for donating the heifer and Sullivan Supply for donating the Beast Blower. Thank you to our generous donors and ticket buyers who make the heifer raffle, AGJA’s largest fundraiser!

The drawing takes place on Monday, January 5, 2026, prior to the AGA National Sale held in conjunction with Cattlemen’s Congress. Ticket buyers will be given the option at the time of purchase to either choose the Beastrom Ranch heifer, Sullivan Supply Beast Blower, or $1,000 cash if selected during the AGA National Sale.
