For the 2024 Bobby Calf season please contact your AFFCO buyer.
AFFCO's Cash for Calves Programme has been a huge success since it launched in 2006. Thank you to our farmers who have taken part in the programme. For every Bobby Calf supplied AFFCO donates 40 cents to schools and fire brigades in rural communities.
For every bobby calf you supply, AFFCO donates 40 cents to a local rural primary school or volunteer fire brigade of your choice through our Cash for Schools and Cash for Volunteer Fire Brigades programme.
Since 2010 AFFCO have donated over $1 million to rural primary schools and since 2015 to volunteer fire brigades. We recognise these two organisations are a vital part of the rural community and as such, AFFCO are proud to support them.
The members of the Morrinsville Fire Brigade are the recipients of over $3,000.00 in donations since 2015. These donations have assisted the Morrinsville Fire Brigade with their operational expenses including having to self-fund their water tanker for a period of time.
Over the past five years St. Joseph's School has received over $5,000.00 in donations from the AFFCO Cash for Schools Bobby Calf scheme. For this school with a roll of approximately 100 students, donations like this help with providing the students with learning resources that would otherwise not be able to be purchased.
