Investing in the Future The Shorthorn Youth Development Fund (SYDF) was established in 2020 to provide financial support that will sustain and expand excellent programming to develop Shorthorn youth as cattle producers and responsible, productive citizens. We started a new fundraising program and many breeders donated lots in their sales to become part of the Shorthorn Royal Society. On November 6 during the ‘Durham Nation’ sale, Jungels Shorthorn Farm of North Dakota sold 21 different donation lots for a total of 172 units of semen. These were purchased by breeders from all over. A total of 10% of all proceeds from these semen lots was donated to the SYDF for a total of $755.
