Thanks for Making the 2025 LEF Cowboy Auction a Wild Success!

The Cowboy Auction took place Monday, March 17, 2025, at 5:30 p.m. MST, during the 2025 National Land Conference in Tucson, AZ. This year's auction raised $73,365. Among popular items up for bids was a series of artwork featuring wild turkeys, a handmade quilt, and duck hunting trip.

All auction proceeds benefit the Land Education Foundation (LEF) of RLI by supporting scholarships for land real estate education, like the courses provided through RLI's LANDU Education program. In 2024, the Land Education Foundation awarded $16,030 in scholarships to 32 learners to help with their land education, including one member who is part of RLI's Military Transition Program. Member support of the Cowboy Auction makes this possible!
