Kansas Livestock Foundation collecting cartridges to fund scholarships

KANSAS (KSNT) - The Kansas Livestock Foundation (KLF) in partnership with Merck Animal Health is collecting used Ralgro and Revalor cartridges to help fund scholarships for veterinary students.

Ralgro and Revalor cartridges are anabolic agents that increase the rate of weight gain and improve feed efficiency for weaned beef calves, growing beef cattle, feedlot steers and feedlot heifers. Cattlemen in Kansas use these cartridges with high frequency, depending on the kind of cattle production.

Every cartridge turned in donates $0.25 to the Merck Animal Health Scholarship fund. The program generated a total of $9,500 in scholarships for the 2025-2026 school year.

Members of the KLF can bring their cartridges to the Merck Animal Health booth at the upcoming Kansas Livestock Association (KLA) Convention & Expo in November, or at your local KLA county meeting or fall roundtable before the convention.
