19 youth named 2022 NILE Merit heifer recipients

Congratulations to these young men and women! They will receive heifers from their gracious donors this fall. After a year of monthly reports, lessons, and breeding the heifers they will show at the 2022 NILE and then take full ownership. We’re excited to see young people interested in agriculture and specifically beef cattle!

Thank you donors, past and present — we couldn’t do this amazing program without you!
