Hey everyone! My name is Cassidy Barker and I am your American Junior Maine-Anjou Association (AJMAA) Vice President. This is my second year serving on the AJMAA board. I am from Kearney, Mo., and currently a junior at Oklahoma State University majoring in Agribusiness. I have enjoyed showing and raising Maine-Anjou cattle my entire show career having attended 11 AJMAA junior nationals and counting! I am extremely passionate about the Maine-Anjou breed and proud to consider the association home.
I am so excited to “Let the Good Times Roll” in Chickasha, Okla., next summer. Next year junior national is schedule for June 19-24 and we are already preparing for a fun-filled week. We are hoping for a COVID-19 free week and are excited to take the junior national to the South.
The AJMAA is extremely fortunate to have many amazing sponsors in the industry to help make our events so great. This year the junior board will be selling card advertisements for the calendar. We have done this before and feel it it a great way to promote your businesses and help out the AJMAA.
New this year, we are starting a ‘Let the Good Times Roll’ cash raffle and are thrilled to see how it turns out! For the raffle, the junior board will be selling squares, each square represents a different dollar value starting at $1 all the way up to $200. For each square purchased, your name goes into a drawing. Winners will be drawn live via Facebook. Cash prizes will be awarded for first place, $1,000, second place, $750, third place, $500, fourth place, $250 and fifth place, $100. Five other select squares will have swag to give away as well! Stay tuned and feel free to reach out to any junior board members to purchase your square or if you have any questions.
I hope to see everyone at the major shows this fall/winter and wish everyone safe travels and good luck. Until then, stay safe and know we have many great things planned for the coming year!
