Bristol Lovett, Bladen, Neb., 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.

Lovett is the 11-year-old daughter of Jeff and Sandy Lovett and attends Blue Hill Community School. She is a member of the NJAA and the Nebraska Junior Angus Association.

She has participated in state and national shows. At the National Junior Angus Show (NJAS), Lovett participated in the quiz bowl, Skill-A-Thon and poster contest and the All-American Certified Angus Beef® Cook-Off. She also participated in the 2023 mentoring program.
Lovett has consigned cattle to the Nebraska Bull Test 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 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.
