Cartridges for Cash

Cartridges for Cash

Recycled Implant Cartridges Benefit SDCA

Thanks to a partnership with Merck Animal Health, cattle producers can cash in on an opportunity to support the South Dakota Cattlemen's Association! 

Here’s how it works:

  1.  Save your empty REVALOR® (trenbolone acetate and estradiol implants, trenbolone acetate and estradiol extended-release implants) or RALGRO® (zeranol implants) cartridges.

  2. Turn in your cartridges at SDCA Region Roundups, Annual Convention, local affiliate events, or at any of the partnering vet clinics. 

  3. Merck Animal Health will donate 25 cents for every cartridge to support ongoing youth initiatives. The more cartridges, the larger the donation, up to a maximum of $10,000 annually.
