Briella Humpert earns Junior Silver Award

Briella Humpert, Windthorst, Texas, has earned the National Junior Angus Association’s (NJAA) Silver award, according to Caitlyn Brandt, events and junior activities director of the American Angus Association^® in Saint Joseph, Mo.

Humpert is the 10-year-old daughter of Misty Wolf and attends Windthorst Elementary School. She is a member of the NJAA and the Texas Junior Angus Association, where she serves as a director.

She has participated in local and national shows and showmanship contests. At the National Junior Angus Show (NJAS), Humpert participated in public speaking, extemporaneous public speaking, photography, poster, graphic design, team sales and quiz bowl contests. She also participated in the mentoring program in 2023.

Humpert has submitted DNA Data samples for Genomic Profile Testing through Angus Genetics Inc. (AGI).

The Silver award is the second level of the NJAA Recognition Program that began in 1972. Junior Angus breeders must apply for the award, then meet point requirements in many areas of participation before receiving the honor. 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 4,500 active members nationwide.
