Haley Greiman Earns Junior Bronze and Silver Awards
Haley Greiman, Perry, Iowa, has earned the National Junior Angus Association’s (NJAA) Bronze and Silver awards, according to Jaclyn Clark, education and events director of the American Angus Association® in Saint Joseph, Mo.
The 18-year-old daughter of Tina and Kurt Greiman attends Dallas Center-Grimes High School and is a member of the NJAA and the Iowa Junior Angus Association, where she has served as historian, secretary and royalty and currently serves as first vice president.
She has participated in local, state and national shows and showmanship contests. At the National Junior Angus Show (NJAS), Haley participated in the livestock judging and team sales contests and the All-American Certified Angus Beef® Cook-Off. She also participated the Leaders Engaged in Angus Development (LEAD) conference in 2015 and 2016 and in the Raising the Bar conference in 2016.
She has submitted weight data to the Angus Herd Improvement Records (AHIR®) and consigned cattle at the Iowa Angus Association Performance Tested Bull Sale.
The Bronze and Silver awards are the first two levels of the NJAA Recognition Program that began in 1972. Junior Angus breeders must apply for the awards, then meet point requirements in many areas of participation before receiving the honors. Applicants are evaluated in areas of junior Angus association activities and leadership, participation in showmanship, contests and shows, using performance testing to improve their herd and their progress in producing and merchandising Angus cattle.
The NJAA promotes the involvement of young people in raising Angus cattle, while also providing leadership and self-development opportunities for the nearly 6,000 active members nationwide.
