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 presently more than 11,000 active junior members from all parts of the
United States and Canada. There are also about 65 state, regional, and local Junior
Angus Associations active throughout the country. 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.
