The Ford family and Cross Diamond Cattle are very supportive of our troops and the youth in Agriculture. Every year they dedicate the lot 21 bull as the “21 Gun Salute” with the entire proceeds donated to the All American Beef Battalion to supply steak feeds to our nation’s military. This year the “21 Gun Salute” was purchase by 3D Ranch, Akron, CO for $15,000. Cross Diamond Cattle also donated a bred heifer at their annual sale to a lucky youth that came to the sale and registered for the drawing. This year Noah Knight, Keystone, NE was the winner.
