Roy Gibson earns Junior Bronze Award
Roy Gibson, Los Lunas, N.M., has earned the National Junior Angus Association’s (NJAA) Bronze award, according to Caitlyn Brandt, events and junior activities director of the American Angus Association® in Saint Joseph, Mo.
Gibson is the 12-year-old son of Roy Gibson and attends Saint Mary’s Catholic School. He is a member of the NJAA and the New Mexico Junior Angus Association.
He has participated in local, state and national shows and showmanship. At the National Junior Angus Show (NJAS), Gibson participated in the livestock judging, Skill-A-Thon and auctioneering contests. He also participated in the 2021 mentoring program.
The Bronze award is the first 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.
