Randy Stearns is funnier than a comic strip, tougher than your work boots, and as caring as your own mother. If you know Randy, you know. If you don’t know Randy, I wish you could.

This man and his family have helped countless people in our small community and stretched far beyond state lines.

I, Clay Kretzmeier, wholeheartedly credit Randy and his family for initiating my passion for the livestock industry. Countless individuals have helped me get to where I am today, but if it weren’t for the Stearns family offering a helping hand nearly 20 years ago to farrow a Spot gilt named Daisy for us, I don’t know where I’d be today.

Today, my job, hobby, and interest revolve solely around showpigs. I can’t imagine where I’d be today if this kind-hearted family hadn’t offered a helping hand to me as an 8-year-old kid.

Randy Stearns is a tough, strong man. Cancer is hard on anyone. He’s tough. But he can use our help.

Money ultimately means nothing in this battle, but it can help decrease the financial burden of this dreaded illness. If you can donate, please do. If you can’t donate, please pray.

Cancer sucks.

The Good Lord worked extra hard creating Randy. He’d give you the shirt off his back, the cash in his billfold, and he’d be dang sure to give you a smile or a laugh that lasts for a long time.

The Stearns family can use our help. Help me help the people who helped make me who I am today.

Thank you for your consideration.
