Junior Corner

By Laken Troup, Junior President & ABHA Queen

ABHA Members and breeders,

Iwould like to thank each of you for the abundance of love and support you continue to show the youth in this breed. We are beyond excited to announce the theme of this year’s AJBHA Junior Nationals, as we will be near Nashville, we have decided the theme will be “Black Herefords Top the Charts.” We are beyond excited for these opportunities and can not wait to see the best and brightest youth in this association, we will continue to have a wide variety of contests and educational opportunities to grow the next generation of ABHA members. As we plan this event, we will soon be looking for sponsors which creates a great advertisement opportunity for breeders and ranchers. We will have our officers reach out to as many as possible and we will soon be posting on Facebook as well. Thank you once again for all of your support to our youth.ABHA
