Will the Circle be Unbroken by Esther McCabe 2013 Miss American Angus
Lets take a step back in time to 1951. Lucille Ball and Arthur Godfry were the television celebrities of the day. The average home cost $9,000 and the average income was $3,500. However, maybe more important to all of us here today is the fact that the American Angus Association issued the very first junior membership in 1951. Of course at that time, there was not a Junior Activities Department and certainly not a National Junior Angus Show or LEAD conference for these new members to attend; but for a $5 membership these juniors were allowed to own and transfer cattle into their name just like members of the regular American Angus Association. Since that first membership, nearly 80,000 have been issued. To put that into perspective, that is enough people to fill two average sized football stadiums! Even without the advantages and opportunities that come with belonging to the National Junior Angus Association that we often take for granted today, these juniors would have the hands-on experience and education to be ambassadors for the beef industry regardless of the profession or vocation that they chose. As we bring this same principle into modern times, the possibilities and opportunities are much more exciting. Thankfully, the American Angus Association viewed “their collective responsibility” to the Junior Angus program and more opportunities were added. In addition to the show ring, today we learn Angus history, animal science and agricultural facts to compete in quiz bowls. We stand up in front of adults who are the leaders of our breed and are very successful in their own lives to give speeches and sales talks. We have experience with real life events from interviews and resumes to how to prepare different cuts of meat to their full potential. We see the results of carcass evaluations and how they are relevant to the industry. We also make friends with people from all over the country and have the opportunity to know some of the most successful people in the Angus breed. From the age of nine throughout our teenage years, we stay in high gear looking forward to the next event and how we can be
more involved. Then the sun comes up one morning, just like any other day but a major change takes place. Because of our twentyfirst birthday, we can no longer participate in the junior program. But because of the junior program, we are armed to go forward into whatever our chosen field may be. Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.” This means that the values, morals, core beliefs, and knowledge that we gain when we are young will carry us forward. Through out the Junior Angus experience, we are preparing for our future and the challenges that it will bring to utilize “our collective responsibility” in everyday life. Just think of the doctor in New York City or the lawyer in Los Angeles who went through the Junior Angus program experience and how different their circle of acquaintances would be from most of us in telling about their beef story or defending the industry from inaccurate accusations from media or welfare groups. Former South African President, Nelson Mandela, who is considered to be one of the most influential statesmen of all time is quoted as saying, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” How about the incredible influence a schoolteacher could have on a classroom after going through the junior program; what a ripple effect might that teacher have in the span his or her career. We are blessed to have the largest, most progressive beef breed association in the world coupled with the strength of Angus Productions Incorporated, Angus Genetics Inc., and Certified Angus Beef. In addition, we have the American Angus Auxiliary and the Angus Foundation who have made available incredible scholarships to help many of us prepare for our future. One gets the feeling that when you are involved with “Team Angus” you are only limited by your dreams. Each one of these entities plays a critical part on the ultimate success of the breed. Albert Einstein once said, “One should never expect to take more from life than they are willing to give.” I believe
The American Angus Auxiliary 2013 officers and regional managers. Members of the newly-elected officer team are: front ltor: President-elect Cortney Holshouser, Castalia, NC; Secretary-Treasurer Lynne Hinrichsen, Westmoreland, KS; President Cortney Hill-Dukehart-Cates, Modoc, IN.; and Advisor Anne Lampe, Scott City, KS; back ltor: Kathy Dubs, MT, Region 1; Cindy Ahearn, TX, Region 2; Sally Roger, SD, Region 3; Martha Holshouser, NC, Region 4; Leslie Mindemann WI, Region 5; and Marlene Dukehart, MD, Region 6.
it is “our collective responsibility” to make sure this incredible experience can continue for generations to come and that they are prepared for the challenges they will face. Each one of us in this have benefited in some way from the junior program. I seriously doubt when the first American Angus Association junior membership was issued in 1951, anyone could have predicted the influence that decision would eventually have across our nation and even around the world. Many of our lives here today would be very different without the National Junior Angus Association and the programs that support it. I am proud to be from a very small town in southeast Kansas that is full of salt of the earth kind of people that would do anything they could for someone. I will have lifelong friends from my hometown. However, because of the National Junior Angus Association, I have a much larger circle. I have had the privilege to travel from California to Pennsylvania and from Wisconsin to Georgia. I have had the opportunity to stand in front of an audience and speak about our industry. I have also received significant financial support to further my education. All of this and much more have been provided by my involvement National Junior Angus Association. One of my favorite quotes is by Abraham Lincoln but it is so simple, is almost seems childish is. “Whatever you are, be a good one.” Whatever that maybe in my case, I owe a huge debt of gratitude to the National Junior Angus Association to do my part in “our collective responsibility.”

National Western Stock Show Nears - Make plans to attend the annual Angus events held Jan. 14-19 in Denver, Colo. NWSShow – Angus activities and events
For many ranch families, the holidays aren’t over until the National Western Stock Show (NWSS). Hundreds will make the trip to Denver, Colo., this January to join in on the 107-year-old tradition. Angus events kick off Wednesday, Jan. 16 and continue through the weekend with shows, sales and other activities. “There’s nothing quite like Denver in January,” says Shelia Stannard, American Angus Association® director of activities and events. “The NWSS is one of our biggest shows of the year, it is home to the breed’s only pen and carload show, and hosts elite Angus sale offerings.” While at the NWSS, stop by the Listening Post in the Yards, where Association, Angus Genetics Inc. and Certified Angus Beef LLC (CAB) staff members will be available to visit with producers about Association programs and the cattle industry. The NWSS Angus headquarters hotel, the Marriott City Center, offers a shuttle that travels to the NWSS daily, each morning and evening, as space is available. To make reservations, call the Marriott at 303-297-1300 and ask for the American Angus Association block.
ROV Angus Shows
Angus activities begin with the Super-Point Roll of Victory (ROV) Angus Bull Show at 8 a.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 16 in the Stadium Arena. Doug Parrett, Urbana, Ill., will evaluate ROV entries. The Angus Bull Sale Show follows at 12 p.m., and prospective buyers have the opportunity to preview the bulls before the sale begins. A panel of three judges will evaluate the bulls using a composite system to establish a sale order. Judges are Jake Scott, Gordon, Neb.; Bill Davis, Sidney, Mont.; and Dan Shike, Champaign, Ill. Attendees will be invited
into the showring to inspect bulls after the grand and reserve grand champions have been selected. The Junior Angus Heifer Show begins at 8 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 17 in Stadium Arena. Paul Hill, Bidwell, Ohio, will judge the junior show. The next day, ROV Angus Females enter the ring, judged by Parrett. The NWSS Angus Pen and Carload Show takes place Saturday, Jan. 19. The only one of its kind, the show begins at 8 a.m. in the Livestock Center Auction Arena. Rick Blanchard, Firebaugh, Calif., Rob Thomas, Baker City, Ore., and John Grimes, Hillsboro, Ohio, will serve on the three-judge panel evaluating the group competitions. Immediate show results will be available online and accessed through the Association’s smartphone application, Angus Mobile. A complete event schedule, showring videos, event photos and breaking news alerts are also available by downloading the app.
Angus Events and Sales
Following the bull shows Jan. 16, the 2013 Angus Foundation Heifer Package will sell at 3:30 p.m. in the Beef Palace Auction Arena at the Stock Show Complex. Immediately after, approximately 4 p.m., the National Western Angus Bull Sale begins. Eddie Burks, Park City, Ky., will serve as auctioneer during the sale, which is managed by the Association. Events wrap up Jan. 16 with Angus Night on the Mountain II at Spruce Mountain Ranch. A fundraising event for the Angus Foundation, the night is free and open to the public. Spruce Mountain Ranch will provide the bus transportation to and from the ranch, beginning at 5:30 p.m. However, the ranch will open at 3 p.m. for those who would like to drive out early and see the facility before dinner.
