All proceeds benefit the non-profit organization  Heifer International
It is a non-profit organization started over 65 years ago to help fight hunger and poverty.  They provide livestock for families in need.  These animals provide eggs, wool, milk, meat, and even draft power!
After a family’s “gift animal” bears a female offspring then it is given to a neighbor in need.  This “passing on the gift” helps families gain confidence and dignity by helping others in need.
Heifer International is in over 125 countries and has many projects in the United States! 
Please visit their website at www.heifer.org to learn more.
