MANCHESTER, Iowa (AP) – Over $41,000 has been raised for a scholarship in memory of a 13-year-old girl who died in a utility vehicle accident through the repeated sale of a steer at an Iowa auction. The Telegraph Herald reports 19-year-old Jamie Nefzger took his Black Angus to the Delaware County Fairgrounds in Manchester Saturday, and a letter was read about the June 24 death of his 13-year-old cousin, Anna Nefzger.

Greg Preussner bought the steer and then told Jamie Nefzger’s father to sell it again. The process was repeated several times, and the steer had been sold 11 times by the end of the auction. After the auction, people were invited to make individual donations to the scholarship. Maquoketa Valley Dollars for Scholars, which set up the scholarship, says donations continue to pour in.
