Anna Parr earns Junior Silver award

Anna Parr, Mason City, Ill., has earned the National Junior Angus Association’s (NJAA) Silver award, according to Caitlyn Brandt, events and junior activities director of the American Angus Association® in Saint Joseph, Mo.

Parr is the 14-year-old daughter of Kirsten Parr and attends Illini Central Middle School. She is a member of the NJAA and the Illinois Junior Angus Association, where she serves as royalty.

She has participated in local, state, regional and national shows. At the National Junior Angus Show (NJAS), Parr participated in the photography, livestock judging, graphic design, livestock judging, Skill-A-Thon and quiz bowl contests. She also participated in the mentoring program in 2019.

Parr has submitted DNA samples for Genomic Profile Testing through Angus Genetics Inc. (AGI).

The Silver award is the second level of the NJAA Recognition Program that began in 1972. Junior Angus breeders must apply for the award, then meet point requirements in many areas of participation before receiving the honor. 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.

The NJAA promotes the involvement of young people in raising Angus cattle, while also providing leadership and selfdevelopment opportunities for the nearly 4,500 active members nationwide.

Angus Foundation scholarship applications open now

Youth can apply for Angus Foundation scholarships until May 1.

Scholarship applications are now available for college students involved with the Angus breed. The Angus Foundation awarded more than $358,000 in scholarships in 2023 alone. The Foundation offers scholarships to undergraduate, graduate and trade school students each year to help Angus youth achieve their educational goals and offset the rising costs of tuition. Applications are due May 1.

“The Angus Foundation’s scholarship program is one of the most prominent and consistent ways our donors support Angus youth,” said Jaclyn Boester, Angus Foundation executive director. “Our scholarships pave the way for a bright future for our industry by ensuring young people have the opportunity to reach their full potential.”

The Angus Foundation undergraduate and graduate scholarship applications are available to National Junior Angus Association (NJAA) members through their American Angus Association® login, similar to the National Junior Recognition Program Bronze and Silver award applications. The Foundation’s Certified Angus Beef®/National Junior Angus Association and commercial cattlemen scholarships will still be accessed at AngusFoundation.org and submitted through email.

“Angus Foundation scholarships have provided incredible support as I have furthered my education,” said Marcie Harward, National Junior Angus Board Foundation director and past scholarship recipient. “I’m grateful for my involvement in the Angus breed and its investment in the success of juniors like me.”

Since 1998, the Angus Foundation has awarded more than $4.5 million in undergraduate and graduate scholarships. For more information about the Angus Foundation and its scholarship program, visit AngusFoundation.org. For more information, contact the Angus Foundation at 816-383-5100.
