Promoting healthy livestock markets became
Andy’s passion. His friendly,
customer-oriented style and knowledge of the industry were widely recognized.
In January of 2008, after a battle with
pancreatic cancer, Andy passed away at the age of 55.
At that time, the Red Bluff Bull and Gelding Sale instituted a
scholarship fund in Andy’s name. Below you will find the criteria and
application for that scholarship.
The Peek family will announce scholarship
recipients during the Red Bluff Bull Sale, the last Saturday in January each
year.
To continue Andy’s support of youth programs, this scholarship will be offered annually to students majoring in Agricultural
Studies (with
a special emphasis in the livestock industry) who
share Andy’s desire to work in the industry he dearly loved.
