The Maine Beef Producers Association is once again accepting applications for the Calves for Kids program. The deadline is April 1st, 2019.
Youth applying will be asked to come for an interview before the Calves for Kids committee at a later date. This program, started in 2007, has given 22 youth in the State of Maine a heifer calf. The program gives a youth an opportunity to have a registered beef heifer to show and start a herd. The youth's obligation is to breed the heifer to a registered bull and give back to the program the first heifer calf. If they do not get a heifer calf born after a few years they are obligated to pay the MBPA $1000. Of the 29 heifers that have gone to youth so far, 13 were either donated or bought by MBPA and the other 16 have come back from the youth.
