Donated by: Friends of Guard

Mark Hopkins Bronze Bull Statue
Description: Where will this beautiful bull call home next? This art piece is a one-of-a-kind bronze statue created by Mark Hopkins of a majestic bronze bull on a wooden stand handmade by AABP member Dr. Brandon Michels. The stand displays plaques of purchasers who have then re-donated the bull back to the auction. Purchased in 2017 by FOG – Friends of (Chuck) Guard, an initial $23,850 was put toward the bull, then The Big 10 Bull Buyers pitched in an additional donation of $11,900, only to be joined by the Southern Crescent Syndicate (who purchased the bull in 2016) with $9,350, all which made a significant contribution to the Amstutz Scholarship Fund. The bull will be on display at the 2018 AABP Annual Conference, and it will be shipped by the AABP office to the winning bidder(s) after the winning bidder plaque is attached. Consortium bidding is encouraged by districts, groups, in honor of colleagues, your football conference or even veterinary school class.
