Canadian Junior Angus

To end off the year, the CJA held a virtual workshop just before Christmas featuring Ty Dietrich and Bevin Hamilton This workshop allowed young juniors to learn more about livestock photography and explore career options for their future. The speakers were excellent, and we can ' t wait to see you on the next one. Thank you to all the juniors that attended!
