If you are a farmer or rancher or if you know one, here is an opportunity to donate without any cash outlay. The cattle or money to buy one is provided through FCA's partnership with STEER, Inc. The ranchers responsibility to the program is his labor, feed, and care of the animal. 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. After sale, the majority of the proceeds go to FCA.
This program helps you further the use of your farm or ranch in service to the Lord by raising livestock whose proceeds may afford Bibles for student-athletes or scholarships to FCA Camps. It is a way to give with no risk or hardship, no capital gains at sale, and it provides an opportunity to witness to your family, local community and marketplace.
To learn more about this or similar givng opportunities, please contact Heather Williams, FCA Home Office, at 1-800-289-0909, ext. 256, or by email: hwilliams@fca.org.

LOCAL TESTIMONIES ABOUT THE STEER INC. PROGRAM "It's easy to be a caretaker for God, when God has always been our caretaker." Brian Legg, Moulton, AL
Ashley Holland, owner of G & H Land and Cattle Company in Decatur, AL, says that "Steer, Inc. has allowed me to participate in a wonderful means of giving back to the Lord's work in a very practical way as a stockman. Anyone who is saved and has a walk with the Lord, and especially those of us who work with the land, can have a deep appreciation for God's wonders in nature.
It is a privilege to be able to take a brood cow and when she delivers that little calf, bring it up knowing when it goes to the sale, the proceeds are donated through Steer, Inc. to the organization of your choice. I am happy to know that FCA will receive proceeds from my calf and it will be used to promote the sharing of the Gospel.
God Almighty owns the cattle on a thousand hills and actually He allows me to be a caretaker for a short while in this life. I pray you might consider your participation in this wonderful program of simply giving back out of your bounty."
