So, what is “Homes for Heifers”?
Generous ranchers make a difference in the lives of children and the Homes for Heifers program is a unique way for any rancher to help hurting children and their families.
The Homes for Heifers program was developed many years ago as a way to fund programs to help the children living at Yellowstone Boys & Girls Ranch. Today your donation helps hundreds of children living in many communities around Montana, as well as children in residential care.
How can a rancher participate?
The rancher can donate a heifer to YBGR, or can “adopt” a top quality heifer from YBGR and have it run with his/her herd.
YBGR heifers have been chosen for disposition and maternal traits to make good gentle cows.
The rancher breeds, feeds, vaccinates and cares for the cow with his/her own herd.
The rancher has no responsibility, should a cow die.
There are three ways YOU can get involved in the Homes for Heifers program:
