The event of the summer is almost here! The 2022 National Junior Angus Show is just a few days away and we hope to see everyone in Kansas City, MO for the Biggest Show on Dirt. As you and your family prepare for a fun-filled week, there is some important information we want to share with you about the event.
Show Program:
With over 1,800 entries, this year’s show will surely be a stout competition. Junior members from across the nation will show off months of hard work as they exhibit their animals in Phenotype and Genotype, Steer, Bred & Owned, and Owned Shows. To view the official show program, click here.
