Saskatchewan milk producers raised $22,750 March 13 to assist the Canadian Food Grains Bank with hunger projects in Ethiopia, Malawi and Mozambique.
At a regularly scheduled R and F dairy cow sale at the Saskatoon Auction Mart, 20 lots of dairy calves, open and bred cows and a steer were donated and sold for the charity.
Isaac Klassen, a Saskatoon area dairy farmer, organized the event and said the sale attracted a good quality of animal.
He said combining the donation sale with a regular sale event means it should perform well again next year.
“More people hear about this way and they might want to donate or buy at the auction next year.”
