How to make Farmageddon a trophy game?

  • After Iowa State won the Big 12, a Cyclone made a wonderful offer to We Will that now increases our match. Now all gifts up to $400,000 between now and the Final 4 will be matched. Please consider giving at We Will Collective.

Would it be animal cruelty to have a live stock trophy? Since we are both big time AG schools I’d assume k-State also has a good stock barn on campus. Start with a heifer and when she is ready to retire the 2 vet schools can select one of her calves to be the new “trophy”. Is it any different than teams having living mascots?

There are so many easy ag-related things they could have done, it is kind of amazing they've never had a trophy. How do we not have decades of photos of teams planting the Farmaggedon Pitchfork into the opponents field after victories?

Considering the mad scramble to claim the trophy after a game, I'm not sure a trophy with multiple sharp pointed ends would be a good idea.

I actually really like this idea, we should do this

Seems like a plow would make the most sense. It can also be hefted by the players, unlike a tractor.
