Donated steer raises cash for Steaks for Troops

Broadie says the steak feeds are very humbling experiences, as the soldiers are always so appreciative.

Lynn Langvardt, one of the owners of J.C. Livestock Sales, sets up the steer that was auctioned off to raise money for the All American Beef Battalion Steaks for Troops program. He is joined by Bill Broadie, founder of AABB and Mr. and Mrs. Gary John- son of Dwight who donated the steer, as well as a couple of soldiers from Ft. Riley.

By Donna Sullivan, Editor On our own, we can’t always accomplish all that we would like, but collaborative efforts can yield dramatic results. This was illustrated last Monday night at Junction City Livestock when what began as a bucket calf project for a young Morris County 4-H’er, turned into sizable donation intended to show support of American servicemen and women. Gary Johnson of Dwight donated the steer that his nine-year-old granddaughter, Haven Pearson, had shown at the Morris County Fair, to the All American Beef Battalion. The group, organized and overseen by Bill Broadie of Ashland, combines support of American troops with promotion of the beef industry by providing steak dinners to soldiers and their It takes a good-sized grill to feed as many as 1,500 servicemen and women. families. “When we started this, we realized we couldn’t feed the whole military,” Broadie said, so we think would be great, but they put three qualifiers in place. The troops either had to be getting ready to deploy, arriving then we go home and don’t home from deployment, or be in the Wounded Warrior unit. The program began on April 26, do anything about it.” 2008 and as of last weekend they had fed ribeye steak dinners to over 50,000 servicemen and But that wasn’t the case women and their families in thirteen different states. with Johnson, as he donated The steaks, which are purchased from U.S. Premium Beef at a discount, are aged for 40 the steer to be auctioned off days at Kirby Meat in Dodge City and hit the plate tender enough to cut with a plastic fork. last Monday night.
