Conner Grim earns Junior Bronze and Silver Awards
Conner Grim, Dover, Pa., has earned the National Junior Angus Association’s (NJAA) Bronze and Silver awards, according to Caitlyn Brandt, events and junior activities director of the American Angus Association® in Saint Joseph, Mo.
Grim is the 17-year-old son of Kevin Grim and attends Spring Grove Senior High School. He is a member of the NJAA and the Pennsylvania Junior Angus Association, where he has served as director.
He has participated in state, regional and national shows. At the National Junior Angus Show (NJAS), Grim was a participant in the mentoring program in 2016.
The Bronze and Silver awards are the first two levels of the NJAA Recognition Program that began in 1972. Junior Angus breeders must apply for the awards, then meet point requirements in many areas of participation before receiving the honors. 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.
