Steer-A-Year

Steer-a-Year Logo

The Steer-A-Year program has a long history at the University of Wyoming and is a great way for the AG community to get involved with Wyoming Athletics. By donating a physical steer, contributing $1,000 cash, or transporting steers for gift-in-kind, your contribution will earn you a Cowboy Joe Club membership at that gift level with many unique benefits. Please note that you must specify on your renewal that you would like your gift to be allocated to the Steer-A-Year program. The priority membership deadline to qualify for benefits is June 15.
