HEREFORD The VitaFerm® Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) celebrates its 25th Anniversary and the legacy it has forged for Hereford youth. At the Grand Daddy of ‘Em All we show to create experiences and unique opportunities for NJHA members and their families to last a lifetime. The JNHE embraces the fun, excitement and youthfulness of a junior national while still maintaining the educational elements it prides itself on. The JNHE is the elite when it comes to learning, leading and achieving. Through competition and educational events held during the event, industry leaders are developed, networks are created and memories are made that last a lifetime. From classroom settings, leadership events to feedyards and different events both in and out of the showring, the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) and the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) and their host of supporters are steadfast when it comes to supporting Hereford youth. HYFA and NJHA have expanded and helped fund a diverse and exciting lineup of educational programs and opportunities for Hereford youth, one being the VitaFerm® Junior National Hereford Expo, along with the Bridging the Gap College and Career Fair and Pen to Pen mentorship program. The Faces of Leadership and BOLD conferences allow junior members to cultivate communication skills, encourage working in team settings and focus on individual development. The Fed Steer Shootout is another program where youth can compete. It offers participants a unique opportunity to follow their cattle through the feedlot and beyond, showcasing what their genetics are producing at the consumer level and expanding their knowledge beyond the showring.

NAJRAE FUZION marks a new chapter in NAJRAE's history. While continuing the rich tradition of NAJRAE, FUZION is expanding upon it, offering a more extensive, dynamic and unencumbered experience for the Juniors in an Angus influenced community. We show because we encourage our juniors and leadership to continue to evolve and bring ideas and activities to enhance educational opportunities, and a broader scope for engagement and growth. Join us this summer as FUZION present 'Down & Derby'. We remain steadfast in our commitment to preserving the essence of our past NAJRAE's gatherings, while also forging ahead with innovative changes. Our aim is to create a more expansive and inclusive platform where young enthusiasts can come together to connect, learn, and celebrate their shared passion for the Red and black hided Angus. Embracing the wider 'Angus' community, we are proud to announce the inaugural national Black Red Carrier Show. Judge Cody Lowderman will be joining us to make history as we embark on this groundbreaking journey!
