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.

Greenhorn Cattle Company of Ohio hosted a sale on November 14. Greenhorn Cattle Co., Turner Family Shorthorns and Double C Shorthorns donated 100% of three sexed heifer embryos. The embryos were purchased for a total of $3,900 by SharBen Shorthorns of Kentucky.

On December 11, Paint Valley Farms of Ohio hosted their Maternal Event sale. Byland Polled Shorthorns and Meredith Land and Cattle donated 100% of five units conventional semen. It was purchased by Zane Martin of Montana for $500. Paint Valley Farms donated two lots of five units each sexed semen. Lot A sold for $2,000 to Alan Kegley of Nebraska and lot B sold for $2,000 to John Russell of Texas.
