Donated by D-K Hawkins Cattle, Dan, Kimberly, Connor, Emma, Andrew and Caleb Hawkins of Garfield, Minn.
D-K Hawkins Cattle is honored to be donating the Maine-Anjou heifer for the 2024 MYBEP program. So many people in this industry along with family have generously helped D-K Hawkins Cattle over the years, and they feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to give back to the industry by supporting a young cattle enthusiast through this program!
The Hawkins family’s love for raising and showing cattle started with their parents, Jeff and Diane, 9 children, and a small herd of cattle back in the 1980’s. The Hawkins family has always been active in 4-H and made many connections and lifelong friendships over the years throughout the cattle community and beyond.
D-K Hawkins Cattle was started back in 2014 by Dan and Kimberly Hawkins, along with their 4 children, Connor, Emma, Andrew and Caleb in Garfield, Minn. They started with 3 cows purchased from Uncle Pat and have grown it into a small commercial herd comprised of Maine-Anjou influenced cattle. Their 4 children are active in showing their calves throughout the year and participate in county and state fairs, MN Beef Expo, along with many open shows throughout the upper Midwest. Each fall D-K Hawkins Cattle sells show-ready calves through private treaty with a focus on helping youth get started in the industry and supporting them in their journey. They are grateful for the opportunity to give back by sponsoring the 2024 MYBEP recipient!
