THIS IS WHY WE SHOW

SIMMENTAL We show Simmental cattle to inspire the next generation of leaders in the livestock industry. In the show ring, young exhibitors gain more than banners—they build responsibility, confidence, and lifelong connections. The Simmental breed gives youth a platform to grow, lead, and carry on a legacy rooted in quality, integrity, and community. BLACK HEREFORD The American Black Hereford Association Junior National is determined to create a platform for youth to engage in the Black Hereford breed. We offer educational opportunities, competitions, and networking experiences that will last a lifetime. Our schedule is full of contests, fun events, and an awards banquet t recognize outstanding achievements. We are excited to host this year’s “America’s Most Wanted” Black Hereford Junior National in Springfield, Missouri. We hope to see you there! ANGUS We show because the National Junior Angus Association (NJAA) empowers youth to grow as leaders, cattle producers, and advocates for the beef industry through hands-on learning, mentorship, and community service opportunities. The National Junior Angus Show (NJAS) brings that mission to life, offering a week of cattle exhibitions, contests, and educational events that foster lifelong friendships and personal development. BEEFMASTER To foster passion of our youth within the beef cattle industry. The Junior Beefmaster Breeders Association is excited to host our show this year in South Texas and celebrate a Beefmaster Fiesta! BRANGUS The International Junior Brangus Breeders Association is excited to welcome our junior exhibitors and families from all over to the National Junior Brangus Show. The schedule is packed full of educational contests for every age and awards banquets to recognize their achievements. We hope to see you there!

BRAUNVIEH Fellowship, Friendship and Fun! CHAROLAIS Celebrating the 50th Junior National Show in Springfield, Missouri. We can’t wait to make it The Greatest Show! CHIANINA The Chianina Junior National is a showcase of high-quality cattle from across the country. The Junior members attending the junior national compete in a variety of leadership and character building contests throughout the week. With over 700 exhibitors, the Chianina/ Maine-Anjou Junior National is one of the largest of the summer. GELBVIEH At the American Gelbvieh Junior Association (AGJA), we believe in the lasting impact that youth livestock programs have on young people — and the Grand Ole Gelbvieh Classic reflects that commitment. While showcasing top-quality Gelbvieh and Balancer cattle is central to the event, it’s the personal growth, leadership development, and lifelong connections that make it truly meaningful. Each summer, AGJA members step into the ring and participate in educational contests not just to compete, but to build skills, confidence, and community. The AGJA Junior Classic provides a platform where juniors are challenged, encouraged, and celebrated — all within an environment that empha- sizes responsibility, pride, and professionalism. Events like this are where future leaders in the beef industry find their voice, pursue their passions, and become the best versions of themselves. We invite you to join us, grow with us, and be partof a community that empowers youth to succeed in the beef industry and beyond. HEREFORD This summer, the National Junior Hereford Association is putting the “Live” in Louisville, and we can’t wait to welcome you to the heart of Kentucky. Live from Louisville is shaping up to be the must-attend event of the summer for Hereford enthusiasts and their families.
