High Plains Food Bank

Please Help Those In Need! TCFA’s Board Of Directors is asking TCFA member feedyards to consider donating a steer or heifer to the High Plains Food Bank. All animals donated will be used for producing hamburger meat to be distributed by the Food Bank. For more about the Food Bank, go to http://www.hpfb.org/about.htm. Under program guidelines, any donated animal must pass all USDA and FDA requirements for food animals and provide a hot yield of 60% or better. If a feedyard prefers to donate money instead of an animal, any amount up to $1,000 is acceptable.   

     Because the Food Bank’s service area is confined to the Texas Panhandle, TCFA is specifically asking only member feedyards in the Panhandle to contribute.  But contributions from yards outside the Panhandle are certainly appreciated.

     Feedyards are asked to take an animal they wish to donate to one of the 12 processors in the Panhandle that are assisting the program. There is no charge to donor feedyards for processing. For a list of participating processors and other information about the program, contact TCFA at (806) 358-3681 or info@tcfa.org.
