Billings, MT– Since 2010, the NILE Merit Heifer Program has raffled off a donation heifer at the stock show during the NILE Merit Heifer Program. The money raised goes back to the program for youth scholarships and prizes.

Tickets for this heifer are $5 each or six tickets for $25. Tickets will be sold at the NILE Merit Heifer Show, Friday Oct. 16 at 3 p.m. with the drawing for the heifer at the conclusion of the show.

This year's Merit Heifer Donation Heifer has been donated by Diamond B Red Angus (Jesse & Melissa Spidahl) out of Fromberg, MT. This heifer will be halter broke and ready for a new show home in October.

Please contact the NILE Merit Heifer Coordinator, Shelby Shaw or Bill Pelton, with any questions on how to purchase tickets.
