NJBA UPDATE, by miriam hargrove

BY MIRIAM HARGROVE, NJBA PRESIDENT

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Miriam Hargrove, and I am a senior at Manvel High School in Manvel, Texas. I have owned Braford cattle for the last four years, and I have loved every minute of it! That first year, I jumped into the association with both feet as a Director and Ambassador. Since that time, I have remained active as a part of the Executive Committee.

This year, I am honored to be elected to represent the UBB youth as the incoming President of the National Junior Braford Association. During my tenure, I plan to focus on introducing more youth to the Braford breed and President | Miriam Hargrove | Manvel, Texas Vice President | Kaitlyn Johnson | Iowa, La. Secretary | Brynlee Boudreaux | Iowa, La. Treasurer | Hailey Sheffield | Pearland, Texas Reporter | Kalli Smith | Gilliam, Ark. encouraging them to join the association. It truly is a way to learn valuable lessons while making lifelong friends.

Right now, our country and especially many of our families are enduring a rough time. Despite the hardships, it has been inspiring to see everyone in the Braford family come together to help each other out in any way possible. We will continue to pray for safety and healing for our Louisiana families.

If you have any ideas, or if I have not had the chance to meet you, please stop by and see me at our next show. I
