Lifetime Angus breeders and promoters, leaders and junior supporters, Vance & Connie Uden, Franklin, Neb., have shared many experiences in the Angus breed, including showing Angus at the first ever Nebraska Junior Angus show, where they first met. Since that first meeting, the Udens have been progressive breeders and leaders in the industry. Vance served two terms as an American Angus Association director. The Udens served as Nebraska Junior advisors for numerous years, and Connie still chairs the Nebraska junior scholarship program. The Udens donated a heifer to the Angus Foundation in 1998, and have chaired two Nation Junior Angus Shows.
