Maggie Mindemann earns Junior Silver Award
Maggie Mindemann, Watertown, Wis., 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.
Mindemann is the 16-year-old daughter of Leah Mindemann and attends Jefferson High School. She is a member of the NJAA and the Wisconsin Junior Angus Association, where she served as royalty and ambassador.
She has participated in state and national shows. At the National Junior Angus Show (NJAS), Mindemann participated in the All-American Certified Angus Beef® Cook-Off. She was also a participant in the Leaders Engaged in Angus Development (LEAD) conference in 2021 and the Raising the Bar conference in 2023.
She has submitted weight data to the Angus Herd Improvement Records (AHIR®).
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.
