Feeder Project

A short-term feeder project is a great way to utilize extra pasture, hay or feed grain that you might have available. These projects are usually completed in less than 12 months. When the livestock is sold, the gain is the amount remaining after the original investment is deducted.

As a rancher, your only responsibility is to donate your feed and care for the livestock you plan to feed.

As a rancher, there are no fees to participate. There’s no need to write a check or send a cash donation. Your only responsibility is to donate your feed and care for the livestock you plan to feed. We will provide the funds to purchase the livestock of your choice from you, your neighbor or sale barn. The livestock becomes the property of STEER, Inc. and needs to be identified by placing a STEER, Inc. ear tag on the animal, or using a STEER, Inc. registered brand if you have brand laws in your state.

Before you start a project, we will need you to sign an Agreement of Stewardship form which states that you will provide the daily feed and care of the animal and also lets us know who you want to support. The greatest benefit is that you get to choose the missionary or mission project you want to partner with from within our member mission societies. That way, you get to be personally involved in seeing the profits from your project go toward your chosen designation as the gospel reaches more and more people through your investment.
