The Cattle and Grain Round Up is a proud local tradition celebrating 30 years of deep-rooted support from farm and ranch families across High River, Nanton, Blackie, and surrounding areas. Since 1996, this unique initiative has brought our agricultural neighbors together to ensure that high-quality healthcare remains strong and accessible right here in our rural communities.
Where Your Money Goes
The Cattle and Grain Round Up raises an average of $40,000 each year, contributing to over $1.1 million raised since the program's inception.
This Year's Priority: Every donation made to the current Round Up is fully dedicated to purchasing a Rapid Infuser for the High River General Hospital—a critical, life-saving piece of equipment used to rapidly warm and administer blood and fluids to trauma or surgical patients.
Flexible Giving Options: The fund uniquely accommodates the agricultural community by accepting matching tax-deductible donations in the form of cash, cattle (processed through Foothills Auctioneers), or grain (directed through the Cargill Blackie Elevator).
Double Your Impact: Thanks to a generous $10,000 matching pledge from long-time donor Marlyne Sutherland (in honor of her late husband Wilson and the program's founders), all gifts from NEW donors will be completely matched dollar-for-dollar!
