Commodity Gifts
Steer-a-Year
This unique program allows CALS students to manage the steer herd, gaining experience on a small-scale feedlot.
Steer-A-Year
Donate a steer to CALS. Even if you don’t own a steer, you can participate in the Steer-A-Year program by purchasing one from the University of Idaho. Donors may designate how revenue from their steer is distributed, and are invited to an annual golf tournament and banquet in the fall. Donating to the Steer-A-Year program may also entitle you to an Idaho tax credit. Contact us to donate your steer, or purchase a steer for donation.
Gifts of Grain
By contributing commodities to the University of Idaho Foundation, an Idaho nonprofit corporation, you are providing the U of I College of Agricultural and Life Sciences (CALS) with a donation that retains the full value of your crop. In addition to self-employment, federal and state tax benefits that you may receive for giving a gift of grain, CALS provides exclusive benefits to recognize you for your generous support.
