The Northern International Livestock Exposition (NILE) is proud to announce the 2012 NILE Merit Heifer Program recipients. The Merit Heifer program is a “live animal” scholarship that strives to help youth get a start in the beef cattle business by awarding heifer calves to participants chosen based on merit, future goals and ability to care for the animal. Any youth ages 13-17, who is a 4-H or FFA member may apply. During the program duration, participants are responsible for raising the heifer, arranging for her to be bred, completing the record keeping procedure and bringing the animal back one year later as a bred replacement heifer for exhibit at the NILE Stock Show.
The following twenty-five individuals will be receiving heifers for the 2012 program. In addition, the *ranch that is donating the heifer is listed below the recipient:
