CHAD CLARK MEMORIAL OUTSTANDING SENIOR MEMBER MAGUIRE ROHR

By: Reagan Dolan

“Faith, positivity, and passion for the cattle industry.”

As a Christian man in the industry, Chad Clark Memorial Outstanding Senior Member, Maguire Rohr is fortunate to gain insight from great mentors that share his appreciation for faith and cattle. Carrying a special appreciation for cattle, Maguire also finds it important to display the faith and belief he holds. A special mentor, Reid Nichols has influenced Maguire in many ways. From fitting cattle to being a Christian man, Reid has always been a phone call away to answer questions and share stories with Maguire.

These traits possessed by Maguire have led him on a successful path within AIJCA. As an active member, leader, and decorated exhibitor, Maguire continues to excel and utilize his strengths. Maguire received the Jordan Mack Memorial Herdsman award, alongside his sister in 2021. More recently, he won the 2023 Senior Fitting competition at the Char-Spangled Banner Junior National.

“I am thankful for my accomplishments and honored to be selected from an association that has been such a big part of my life.” Maguire is no stranger to hard work, as he lives and works as a herdsman in California with Silveira Bros, a multi-breed show cattle operation. When he finds free time, Maguire travels to jackpot shows in California, attends church, and catches up with his friends.

His skill and interest in show cattle was taught to him by his mentor and dad, Mitch Rohr. Mitch introduced the show cattle industry to Maguire, who has learned to fit and show from his dad over the years. Aside from show cattle, Maguire gained insight on the importance of producing quality calves and replacement heifers for the future of their operation, Lazy H Ranch.

Despite his busy schedule, Maguire makes it a priority to attend Junior National each year. As a previous AIJCA Junior Board Member, he is honored to be part of the organization. “I enjoy getting to meet more AIJCA juniors. I continue to stay involved with AIJCA by promoting involvement in my area and participating in shows and contests.”
