GELBVIEH
AMERICAN GELBVIEH JUNIOR ASSOCIATION 26. In addition to this, don’t forget to start collecting your soda pop tabs for the AGJA community service project, because the top three states that bring in the most pounds of tabs will receive coveted State Challenge Cup points! Please, don’t hesitate to reach out to your AGJA board members or Jake Renner, AGA member and youth activities coordinator, with any questions. On the behalf of all juniors and the AGJA board of directors, I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to each one of our sponsors and supporters. Thank you to the AGA staff and AGA board of directors for all of your tireless efforts. Thank you to the parents for putting in the extra time to prepare and get your juniors to these events, especially in times like these. We couldn’t do it without you.
AGJA ROUTE 66 CLASSIC By Brooke Nowack As many of us know, raising cattle is like working 10 different jobs every week. Whether it be truck driver, vet, first responder, mechanic, data analyst, or salesmen, cattle producers are very busy people. It’s no wonder vacation days are almost unheard of! But for those of you who have juniors in the house… SURPRISE! School is out two months early and you get to add homeschool teacher to your resume! On the bright side, we have junior shows just around the corner and there will be even more time to plan out contest entries! This year, Missouri is proud to host the 2020 AGJA Route 66 Classic in Springfield, Missouri. If you haven’t already done so, mark your calendars for July 5-10, because this is going to be a Classic to remember. This year there will be a couple of scheduling changes, big contest improvements, and even a new contest to compete in! Take a look at the AGJA Events page on Gelbvieh.org to find general information and contest rules. Educational contest submissions, AGJA board applications, and ambassador portfolios should all be submitted by May
A NOTE FROM JAKE RENNER: We here at the AGA and your AGJA board of directors promise to communicate any changes that may occur due to recent health concerns regarding COVID-19. We know each and every exhibitor planning to attend the 2020 AGJA Route 66 Classic has worked tirelessly on your projects be it your cattle, poster, creative writing or studying for quiz bowl. We hope you continue working toward an exciting week with us in Springfield. Please contact me with any questions or concerns regarding this event at 303-465-2333 or jake@gelbvieh.org
