STEER
INC. COW/CALF PROGRAM
The cow/calf program is the heart beat
of the STEER program as currently around 84 percent of
all the ranchers that are involved in the STEER
ministry have cow/calf projects. Also the amount of
investments that STEER Inc. has in the cow/calf
program is around $1.5 million. So why not get involved
today? If you have questions or would like to make
contact with us about your possible involvement in
this exciting missions funding organization please
contact us today at 701-258-4911 or e-mail us at
ministry@steerinc.com

The ranchers responsibility to the
program is his labor, feed, and care. There is no
risk as all investments are covered by our insurance
and depreciation fund. This includes vet fees, death
loss, and depreciation losses on the investment.
When it comes time to market your
project, sell the livestock in the name of STEER,
Inc. If you are selling some of your own livestock at the same time, you can simply take the overall
average and have the marketing agent make the check
payable to STEER, Inc. for the portion which is
designated to missions. By not involving your
personal account you will not have to declare as
income or pay Social Security Tax on the STEER
Project.
When the calf is sold, 85% of the gain goes to the
mission as designated by the farmer. The remaining
portion is used for replacement costs, death and
depreciation losses and administration. When a cow is
sold, the original
investment (donor UNIT) is always retained to be
reinvested in another project.
If the purchase cost of a cow or other
long term investment is higher than $800,
the difference will be deducted from the gross gain
over a two-year period.
When it comes to
purchasing a cow for your involvement in Steer we
would gladly purchase a bred cow or heifer from your
herd or from your neighbor's herd. If you are now
interested in knowing more about this unique
stewardship program or perhaps you would like an
agreement of stewardship form from us in order to get
the process of your involvement started please call us
today at 701-258-4911 or e-mail us at
ministry@steerinc.com
Thank
you and we look forward to hearing from you!
