Andrew Meier earns Junior Bronze and Silver Awards
Andrew Meier, Clinton, Tenn., 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.
Meier is the 18-year-old son of Holly Gamble Meier and attends Anderson County High School. He is a member of the NJAA and the Tennessee Junior Angus Association, where he received the 2023 state scholarship.
He has participated in local, state, regional and national shows including the National Junior Angus Show (NJAS).
He consigned cattle to several private sales.
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.
