Merck Animal Health was awarded as the 2024 Minnesota Beef Industry Service Award recipients during the Minnesota Cattle Industry Convention on Dec. 6 in St. Cloud, Minnesota. This award is presented by the Minnesota State Cattlemen’s Association (MSCA), and the purpose of the award is to recognize an individual, business or organization that has demonstrated support to grow Minnesota’s cattle industry or community.
The beef industry in Minnesota depends on the support of agricultural businesses and organizations for the advancement of the industry. The Minnesota Beef Industry Service Award serves as an avenue for MSCA to recognize and thank these groups for their efforts in Minnesota.
MSCA has a longstanding partnership with Merck Animal Health through the “Cartridges for Cash” program. This partnership began in the 80s’ and since 2020, Merck has donated over $40,000 to the MSCA through the program. Merck Animal Health is one of the highest Prime Beef Alliance sponsors of the MSCA.
“Merck Animal Health is proud to support the beef cattle industry through our partnership with the Minnesota State Cattlemen’s Association,” says Anna Haas, senior sales representative with Merck Animal Health. “The Cartridges for Cash program enables us to pay it forward by supporting the next generation of cattle producers through youth educational programs and scholarships.”
