About the
National Jr. Angus Association |
The Junior Activities Department of the American Angus Association was started
in 1956. Its purpose then was to encourage young people to become involved with
Angus steer and heifer projects and to help them do a better job with their
projects. Today that purpose has been expanded to include more projects and
programs that help juniors develop their skills and character.
|
There are nearly 7,000 active junior members from all parts of the United States and Canada.
Throughout the country there are many state, regional, and local junior Angus associations
who are actively involved in the NJAA. These groups, with the assistance of the American Angus
Association, meet regularly, sponsor shows and field days, and take an active part in the Angus
business and promotion of the breed.
|
Each year more junior members join the American Angus Association than any other
cattle organization. They are our strong foundation for expansion and
improvement for the Angus breed in the future.
