Lewi will be sold twice at the auction, which begins at 11 a.m. in the Ag Arena. A syndicate, or group of buyers, will buy the calf first, but then will redonate the calf into the auction to be sold again. The highest bidder in the second sale may keep the cow for milking. The profits from both sales will benefit the dance marathon. Students can donate just five or 10 dollars toward the fund.
Student groups compete to raise the most money for the marathon.
Lewi will be used for milking in another year. The calf is from a premier bloodline that was used for artificial insemination. The calf will be at the Ag Arena today and tomorrow for the public to view. Anyone can become a member of the syndicate by making a donation. To make a donation, call 531-6068 and ask for Sarah or Priscilla.
