Silent Auction Has Something for Everyone Angus supporters of all ages came together at the National Junior Angus Show (NJAS) in Perry, Georgia, to support the 2009 Angus Foundation Silent Auction July 20-25, which grossed more than $9,600 in proceeds benefiting the Foundation’s education, youth and research activities. Individual donors and state Angus associations contributed 71 items to the 14th annual auction. “Generous support from Angus breeders, Angus youth and friends from allied industry enabled the Angus Foundation to enjoy a very productive and prosperous week at the NJAS,” said Foundation President Milford Jenkins. “The silent auction fundraiser is always a popular activity for NJAS attendees, young and old alike, as hundreds of bids were placed on the various items.” Bob and Jeannie
