Ohio Angus Breeders,

I hope everyone has been surviving Ohio’s extreme winter temperatures, and will have enough hay to make it till spring grass arrives. None the less spring is just around the corner, and that means Spring Sale Season! Headlining Spring Angus Sales will be the Angus Super Star Sale at the Ohio Beef Expo. We have compiled a solid offering from many of Ohio’s top breeders as well as several new consignors from out of state. This will surely be a tremendous sale and I encourage everyone to attend.

Caroline Miller, Lindsey, Ohio, has earned the National Junior Angus Association’s (NJAA) Bronze and Silver awards, according to Jaclyn Upperman, junior activities director of the American Angus AssociationŽ in Saint Joseph, Mo.

The 18-year-old daughter of David and Cheryl Miller attends Fremont Ross High School and is a member of the NJAA, the Ohio Junior Angus Association, where she has served as secretary, and the Black Swamp Junior Angus Association, where she has served as treasurer.

She has participated in local, state, regional and national shows and showmanship contests. At the National Junior Angus Show (NJAS), Miller participated in the team fitting, quiz bowl and prepared public speaking contests. She also participated in the 2011 and 2012 mentoring program and the Rasing the Bar conference in 2012.

The Bronze and Silver awards are the first two levels NJAA Recognition Program that began in 1972. Junior Angus breeders must apply for the awards, then meet point requirements in many areas of participation before receiving the honors. Applicants are evaluated in areas of junior Angus association activities and leadership, participation in showmanship, contests and shows, using performance testing to improve their herd and their progress in producing and merchandising Angus cattle.

American Angus AssociationÂŽ members interested in becoming more involved in the agriculture industry still have time to apply for the seventh annual Beef Leaders Institute (BLI).

Held June 23-26 the program brings Angus producers together in Saint Joseph, Mo., for a series of informative sessions, followed by a three-day tour across several industry segments.

Applications for BLI are due March 1.“This is one event you won’t regret attending,� says Robin Ruff, Association director of activities, events and education. “From a behind the scenes look to the connections made, BLI is an opportunity of a lifetime.�

BLI is designed for Association members 25-45 years old to provide insight into the beef industry, while enhancing their knowledge of the Association and strengthening leadership skills.

During the three-day event, BLI participants are able to tour a beef harvesting and packing facility, retailer, fabricator, feedlots and other industry segments, including the Association.

Funded through the Angus Foundation, the Association provides transportation, lodging, meals and materials during BLI. Attendees will be responsible for roundtrip transportation between their home and either Kansas City or Saint Joseph, Mo.
