THE ANDY PEEK LIVESTOCK SCHOLARSHIP


Andy Peek was president of Western Video Market, an industry leader in the video marketing of livestock across the western states.  Andy was also General Manager of Shasta Livestock Auction Yard in Cottonwood, California, a family-owned business where he worked for over 4 decades.   He was a past president of the California Livestock Marketing Association and served as a board member for the National Livestock Marketing Association.  Andy was a past chairman of the Shasta District Fair Board in California, the 2007 Tehama County (CA) Cattlemen of the Year and was a major presence within the cattle and livestock industry. 

Promoting healthy livestock markets became Andy’s passion.  His friendly, customer-oriented style and knowledge of the industry were widely acknowledged.

In January of 2008, after a long battle with 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 Gelding Sale, January 27-31, 2009.  To continue Andy’s support of youth programs, this scholarship in his name will be offered annually to students majoring in Agricultural studies who share Andy’s desire to work in the industry he dearly loved.
