Missouri Heifer Project 1971 aims to send 220 missionaries
The Missouri Council of Churches sponsors a plan to send 220 Missourians and offspring as missionaries to Guatemala, Honduras, and parts of the United States. The project includes 100 purebred goats, 100 purebred gifts, and 20 purebred dairy heifers, with funds raised by churches statewide. The program uses a chain model where each recipient passes on the first female offspring to another farmer, aided by artificial insemination from frozen semen. Donations and information are sought through Missouri Heifer Project 1971, Box 733, Columbia, MO 65201.
