Kade Meacham earns Junior Bronze Award
Kade Meacham, Connell, Wash., 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.
Meacham is the 14-year-old son of Toni Meacham and attends Olds Junior High School. He is a member of the NJAA and the Washington Junior Angus Association.
He has participated in state, regional and national shows. At the National Junior Angus Show (NJAS), Meacham participated in the team sales, quiz bowl, livestock judging and Skill-A-Thon contests. He was also a participant in the mentoring program in 2021 and 2022.
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.
