KLA: Bellar awarded GoBob scholarship

Luke Bellar, the son of Mike and Peggy Bellar of Howard, has been awarded the $2,500 Cattlemen’s Scholarship from GoBob Pipe & Steel and the Kansas Livestock Foundation (KLF). The West Elk High School graduate assists daily with his family’s cow-calf herd and farrow-to-finish hog operation. He was very active in his local FFA chapter and 4-H club, serving as president of both organizations. Bellar will attend Fort Hays State University this fall and major in agribusiness and animal science. In the future, he plans to return to the family operation.

Funding for the Cattlemen’s Scholarship is generated through the purchase of GoBob Pipe & Steel products by KLA members. The company donates a percentage of all member purchases to KLF. Additional funds for the scholarship were generated through the auction of a Haymonster Feeder, donated by GoBob, at the 2011 KLA Convention. GoBob is a distributor of farming supplies, such as steel pipe and gates, corral and fence materials and heavy-duty equipment.
