CJLA News and Info

The first few months of 2020 have zoomed by and the CJLA show season is in full swing! February 15 th was our Award Presentations honoring the 2019 members for their many achievements over the past year. In the next issue of this magazine we will feature the highlights of the big event. I would like to say THANK YOU to our great group of people who came to help out and made everything go smoothly, to the Western Bonanza crew who helped with anything we needed and who made sure scheduling between the shows and our ceremonies ran like clockwork. And to our sponsors and those who donated for the silent auction – your support is amazing!

A few show updates here you need to know about! A big shout-out to Gold Country Jackpot who sanctioned their steer show (2 shows!) with us for the first time this year! Your support was awesome! We have a new show on May 2nd ! Breeder’s Classic – Mkt Goats, Wether Dam Does, Mkt Lambs, Wether Dam Ewes. It will be held at the Ed Hughes Arena in Ione. Be sure to check out their Facebook posts for all the details! And the CNHA Hereford Classic Show has moved their date up to October 24-25 in Yuba City.

As we go forward this year, we will be working on making CJLA better! In response to many inquiries, WE HAVE POSTED A SURVEY addressing some questions and comments we have received in the past months. The survey is on the CJLA website, our Facebook page has a link to the survey, and we have sent it out in E-blasts to our members. Please take a few minutes to fill it out and submit it back to us. Your feedback is very important to us and will help us as we go forward. It does not do any good to complain in the barn but not let us know your thoughts – WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! This first survey we will take re sponses until April 15 th . After that we will address the comments and start from there.

We also plan to communicate more this year to our members. Eblasts are the quickest and most direct way to get information to you. Our email list includes all current and past year members as well as anyone who has added their name through the CJLA website. If you want to get our updates and are not on one of those lists, just go the website and ask to be added to get our emails.

In the next issue of this magazine will be our first set of points. I know the big question has been about getting points posted sooner. We have a new person taking over the recording of points and that will be our main goal. It may take a bit of adjustment this first part of the year but please bear with us as we get things worked out. And be assured that this is our number 1 priority! We have always planned point updates to coordinate with each issue of the Pacific Showcase magazine starting with the May/June issue, then the July/August, September/October, and November/ December issue. It is our goal to work toward getting updates out more often and as I said, we are giving this high priority! Please be sure to add cjlainfo@yahoo.com to your contacts so you receive our E-blasts! It is really important that you read our E-blasts because this is how we send any communications from CJLA throughout the year. Due to postage costs, the only letters we send through the post office are at the end of the year! We also post on the CJLA Facebook page and on the CJLA website. As much as we try to keep you informed, it is your responsibility to look at what you receive AND to contact us if you have any questions! If you have questions about points or shows or rules, please contact us so we can answer them! The CJLA Rule Book is posted on the website and we recommend everyone print a copy for your reference! We would like to remind everyone that the CJLA Rules were made with an effort for fairness to all exhibitors and members. We have always been proud of our members and the way in which our livestock youth conduct themselves in life and in competition. Each of you set an example for the younger ones coming up behind you – just as those you looked up to did when you first started out. I think this is about all the news for now …… so go full speed into the weeks and months ahead! Set new goals and work hard to achieve them! Be sure to enjoy the journey along the way! Stay safe, and be sure to thank your crew that helps you get it all done. And say Thanks to those awesome people who work so hard to put on those shows you attend! Happy Trails!
