Local Bartian donates childhood dream to a greater cause.
 
Nate Alleman, owner of Alleman Acres, a land and cattle company, donated about 1,500 lbs of beef to Caney Valley Agape Network & Food Pantry, Lighthouse Outreach Center, Mary Martha Outreach, Concern Bartlesville, Agape Mission, and the Delaware Tribe of Indians over the holiday, giving hundreds of families a very, merry, Christmas.
 
Alleman, not wanting to take all the credit, talked about all the help he recieved from not only his family, but the sponsors who made it easy to give to so many. 
 
The local businesses in question are American Heritage Beef, with special shout out to Sherri Goemmer who offered to lower the processing fees, Gavin Duley with Caney Drug, Matt Spence with State Farm, Nathan Barham with Perspective Advisors, Jon & Michal Lindblom (personally), and Aaron Gittinger with Roof Pro.
 
Alleman also talked about his wife and kids who helped with a lot of the labor behind raising the six calves they started the project with.
 
Alleman says that although there were some times where the kids were less than thrilled to help with the daily tasks, they knew the ultimate goal and did it anyways — an attribute Alleman and his wife have made sure to instill into their kids before the project started.
 
Though it was a lot of hard work, Alleman explains that working with only six calves made it easier to get attached and witness the individuality of the group; particularly a calf he described as a teenager.
 
Alleman says it was very interesting to witness each individual calfs' personality and how they were all different.
