“Angus Mobile allows members attending the NJAS to stay up-to-date with the latest news and showring coverage,” says Jena McRell, American Angus Association digital editor. “It’s free to download and can keep you informed throughout the event, whether you’re in Des Moines or following from home.”
Anyone with a smartphone or tablet can download Angus Mobile. Once the app is installed, the events section can be found at the bottom of the screen. Select “National Junior Angus Show 2017” to scroll through alerts, schedules, show results, maps, restaurants and much more.
After the event is over, Angus Mobile can be used to access herd information and news headlines from the American Angus Association. The app also offers tools such as a calving book and gestation calculator. Also, the event section is updated throughout the year to share coverage of other Angus events.
