Lyle Perrier earns Junior Bronze and Silver Awards
Lyle Perrier, Eureka, Kan., 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.
Perrier is the 17-year-old son of Matt Perrier and attends Eureka Junior-Senior High School. He is a member of the NJAA and the Kansas Junior Angus Association, where he serves as director.
He has participated in state and national shows. At the National Junior Angus Show (NJAS), Perrier participated in the team sales, livestock judging, quiz bowl and Skill-A-Thon contests and the All-American Certified Angus Beef® Cook-Off. He was also a participant in the Raising the Bar conference in 2022-2023.
He has consigned cattle to the Dalebanks Angus sale.
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.
