Zoetis Expands Patriots’ Pledge Initiative to Support Pork Producers

Zoetis has announced the expansion of its Patriots’ Pledge initiative, offering pork producers a unique opportunity to give back while investing in the health and welfare of their animals. Beginning in 2025, proceeds from the sales of select Zoetis pork products will be donated to Folds of Honor, a nonprofit organization providing academic scholarships to the families of fallen or disabled U.S. Armed Forces members and first responders.

The Patriots’ Pledge program will run annually from Memorial Day through Veterans Day and has already made a significant impact since its inception. Zoetis has contributed over $2 million to Folds of Honor through its cattle business since 2022. This year, the program has expanded to include the pork and poultry markets, providing even greater opportunities for producers to make a difference.

“Zoetis is honored to support Folds of Honor and the life-changing work they do to help the families of those who protect our communities and freedoms,” said Kristin Kasselman, Senior Vice President of U.S. Livestock Business for Zoetis. “By including pork producers in Patriots’ Pledge, we’re expanding our impact and allowing more customers to join us in this important mission.”

As part of this initiative, Zoetis will donate a portion of sales from key pork health products, including:

Fostera® PCV MH

Draxxin® (tulathromycin injection) Injectable Solution

“These scholarships offer life-changing opportunities for families,” said Brandon Marshall, head of sales and technical service for Zoetis poultry. “For our pork and poultry customers, it’s a chance to give back while doing what they do best—producing safe, quality food.”

Early Fall Colors | Scenic Ontario Road Trip!

Video: Early Fall Colors | Scenic Ontario Road Trip!

All adventures must come to an end, but not without one more journey! Join The Wandering Shepherds as we say farewell to our cozy Calabogie cottage and take the scenic road trip home to Ewetopia Farms. Our first stop was a breathtaking hydroelectric generating station, framed by cliffs, rushing water, and brilliant fall leaves that seemed to have changed overnight. From there, we meandered along winding backroads through lakes and hills, soaking in the spectacular autumn scenery. This year, the colors seemed to arrive earlier than usual—perhaps due to the summer’s drought? Whatever the reason, it was an unforgettable display of Ontario’s fall beauty. Finally, our holiday drew to a close as we pulled back into Ewetopia Farms, ready to return to the sheep and our daily vlogs. But this trip reminded us how important it is to pause, explore, and appreciate the simple beauty around us.
