With sunny skies and scenic views as the backdrop, Angus enthusiasts mooved on down Route 66 for a day of friendly competition at the 24th annual Angus Foundation Golf Tournament hosted at The Canyons at Blackjack Ridge in Sand Springs, Oklahoma. Held in conjunction with the 2025 National Junior Angus Show (NJAS) in Tulsa, the tournament welcomed 95 golfers and raised more than $36,000 to support the Foundation’s mission of advancing education, youth and research in the Angus breed. 

“Each year, the Angus Foundation Golf Tournament offers a fun, relaxed environment for breeders, supporters and friends of the Angus breed to reconnect while giving back,” said Jimmy Stickley, Angus Foundation Donor Coordinator. “The combination of beautiful scenery, camaraderie and meaningful fundraising makes it truly special.”
