Fall 2022 ▪ 1
The President's Pen Welcome to the fall edition of the Kansas Angus News. The year is flying by (each faster than the previous). Many of us could use some rain. Our summer crops are looking sad. The local farmers with cattle are baling their milo, corn and beans. Hay seems to be at a premium price right now, so hopefully they can offset the cost getting the crops in this year. Like I have said in the past, I am an eternal optimist, so I am hopeful we will get ample moisture in the months ahead to get the fall crops off to a good start. There are a couple sales events I would like to highlight and formally invite each of you to attend and support. Please join us on September 23 for the Kansas Angus Association Fall Investment Sale at the Stanley E. Stout Marketing Center, Kansas State University, Manhattan. We are expecting over fifty head of registered Angus females consigned by multiple Kansas Angus Association members. For the commercial side of the industry, December 3 is the annual Pratt Commercial Female sale. This is a good avenue to sell quality, young replacement females or to buy consigned females to add to the commercial herd or use as recipients. It is also an avenue for your bull customers to market some top Kansas genetics. The quality has been historically very good at this sale. I would like to publicly thank Gordon Stucky, Anne Lampe, and the Pratt Livestock team for their efforts to make this an outstanding and successful annual sale. I hope to see you at one or both of the afore mentioned KAA sales.

Kansas Junior Angus Association KJAA Members My name is Eva Hinrichsen and I am currently serving as the 20222023 Kansas Junior Angus Association President. I am a fourthgeneration rancher and grew up raising and showing Angus cattle. My senior year at Oklahoma State University is just beginning and I am majoring in Animal Science with a minor in Agribusiness. I am also a member of the Livestock Judging Team and have stayed busy with travelling to different operations to prepare for contests this fall. After graduating in May, I plan to attend graduate school and then obtain my doctorate in ruminant nutrition. I would like to work for the industry focusing on the feedlot sector, then return to academia and teach at a land-grant university. My time in the KJAA and NJAA has flown by! I was fortunate enough to accomplish three major goals I had set for my junior career. I was crowned the 2020 Miss American Angus, received the Jim Baldridge Outstanding Leadership Award, and voted the 2022 Junior Herdsman of the Year. These experiences and my positions in the KJAA have prepared me to be successful in the agricultural industry. I challenge all juniors to set goals and with the strong support of the Angus Family, they will achieve anything they set their mind to. In addition, the Angus breed introduced me to my lifelong friends and exposed me to a strong network of industry professionals. This year as President, I am excited to welcome new families into the association and encourage the juniors to work hard and have fun. I look forward to seeing everyone at the next show!
Thank You KJAA members recognized retiring advisors Clint and Jessica Woodrow, Emporia with a gift of appreciation for their three years of service to the association.

Hinrichsen ends her junior career on a high note as Junior Angus Herdsman of the Year The 2022 Junior Herdsman of the Year award went to Eva Hinrichsen from Kansas. Miss American Angus, Outstanding Leader and Junior Herdsman of the Year: Three incredible titles have been presented to Kansas native, Eva Hinrichsen for the character, quality and skill she has displayed throughout her years in the National Junior Angus Association (NJAA). The most recent of those awards, the 2022 Junior Herdsman of the Year award, topped off her career and is no small feat. The award was created to honor an outstanding member who displays a strong work ethic, dedication to his/her animals, and has the skill to prepare their cattle for exhibition to the best of their ability. From the juniors in attendance at the 2022 National Junior Angus Show (NJAS), they believed Hinrichsen possessed the character and qualities to receive the 2022 Junior Herdsman of the Year honor. “When I was younger, I would always vote for the person I thought demonstrated a strong work ethic, always was willing to take a minute to talk to anyone, and someone who was encouraging to all juniors,” Hinrichsen said. “Now winning the award myself, I hope I was voted for those same reasons.” From a state advisor perspective, Anne Lampe speaks highly of Hinrichsen winning this award. “It may be cliche' but the term "well rounded" defines Eva when it comes to her NJAA involvement and achievements,” Lampe said. “She excelled and has given her all to everything she does allowing her to be an accomplished leader, public speaker, showman, livestock judge, fitter, herdsman, and role model to juniors especially girls.” Hailing from Westmoreland, Kansas, Hinrichsen is a fourth generation Angus breeder as her parents and brother run a purebred operation in the Flint Hills of Kansas. Currently she is working on her bachelor’s degree in animal science from Oklahoma State University before she continues her education in the ruminant nutrition field. Her goal is to earn a Ph.D., gain industry experience and then ultimately land back in academic teaching at a university. A herdsman of the year shows qualities of working well with customers and fellow junior members. Hinrichsen has displayed these qualities as a junior member and through Miss American Angus which should help her achieve her goals of teaching. “Winning the junior herdsman award at my last NJAS was an honor because it felt as if all my hard work had finally paid off,” said Hinrichsen. “I also think it’s neat to have been Miss American Angus and receive the junior herdsman award as I’m not sure it has been done before.” As Hinrichsen closes one chapter of her Angus career, she leaves the juniors with a piece of advice. “Cherish your time and the friendships in the NJAA because time goes by quick and those friendships will be the ones to last a lifetime,” said Hinrichsen. “Also, remember people are always watching even when you think no one is. It could be someone who looks up to you or a future employer, so work hard and smile big.” To learn more about the NJAA, the NJAS or the junior herdsman of the year award, visit www.angus.org/NJAA. -Written by Whitney Whitaker, Angus Communications Eva also won the American Angus Auxiliary’s Silver Pitcher Award for excelling in showring competition at the NJAS , tying for the award with Ashton Dillow, Illinois. Presenting is Auxiliary President Deana Hofing.

Jayce Dickerson Elected to the NJAA Board Junior delegates elect six new board members at the 2022 National Junior Angus Show. Growing future industry leaders is an important part of the legacy of the National Junior Angus Association (NJAA). Each year, six junior members get the opportunity to serve on the National Junior Angus Board (NJAB) to further develop their leadership skills and represent Angus youth. The six new directors were announced during the awards ceremony at the 2022 National Junior Angus Show on July 8 in Kansas City, Missouri. For many members, running for the board symbolizes a culmination of years of involvement and a chance to pursue a dream set at an early age. The newly elected candidates will serve two years on the NJAB — the first year as directors and the second as officers. The NJAB members travel the country assisting with shows and conferences, supporting juniors at state and national events and furthering the mission of the NJAA. The new NJAB officers were also selected after a thorough interview process. The team will be led by Chairman Nicole Stevenson of Joliet, Montana, and Vice Chairman, J. Gordon Clark of Gretna, Virginia. The officer team also includes Foundation Director Marcie Harward, Richfield, North Carolina; Communications Director Kinsey Crowe, Eaton, Ohio; Events Director Kathryn Coleman, Modesto, California; and Education Director Avery Dull, Westminster, Maryland. The six new directors embarking on their two-year term include Jack Dameron, Towanda, Illinois; Jayce Dickerson, Paradise, Kansas; Lauren Gilbert, Oldfield, Missouri; Lani LeBeouf, Deridder, Louisiana; Avery Mather, State Center, Iowa; and Colter Pohlman, Hereford, Texas. Meet the six new directors Jack Dameron joins the board from Towanda, Illinois as an animal science major at the University of Illinois. Dameron’s passion for serving the Angus family was instilled in him from his family’s involvement with the Association. During his term, he hopes to inspire juniors to pursue big goals and take advantage of every opportunity the NJAA offers. “Growing up, I was always shy,” Dameron said, “But with the help of the junior board, I was able to gain confidence and be more involved. I want to give back in the same way and set juniors up for a successful future.” Jayce Dickerson is a Paradise, Kansas native and looks forward to serving the junior association. As a current sophomore at Butler Community College, Dickerson comes from a six-generation cattle ranch where he has started his own string of Angus cattle. Dickerson hopes to bring energy and fun to the membership as a leader and role model. “Ever since I was little, I looked up to the junior board,” Dickerson said. “I always thought they are the best of the best, so this is a dream come true to be a part of this team.” Lauren Gilbert represents the state of Missouri and is an agricultural communications junior at the University of Missouri. As a first-generation Angus breeder, Gilbert understands the impact a board member can make on juniors. Her path in the NJAA began with a board member seeking her out at a youth conference and simply making her feel welcome. As she begins her term, she hopes to make a similar impact on Angus youth. “No matter what Angus event you’re at, the green coats are always there greeting you with a smile,” Gilbert said. “I hope to positively influence juniors in the same way [junior] board members impacted me.” Lani LeBeouf resides in Deridder, Louisiana, and currently studies nursing at Northwestern State University. LeBeouf was inspired to run for NJAB director by previous junior board members who challenged her to get more involved and become a leader. She hopes to use this opportunity to exert the same positive influence on younger members and be a role model to the membership. “I am blessed to have this opportunity to achieve my biggest goal — wearing the green jacket,” LeBeouf said. “I hope to give my full commitment to leave a lasting impact on junior members and give back to juniors.” Avery Mather comes from a long lineage of Angus breeders. Hailing from State Center, Iowa, Mather is an agricultural business junior at Iowa State University. As a fifth-generation Angus breeder, serving the junior association was a goal Mather set at an early age. During her tenure, she hopes to focus on mentoring younger juniors and helping members achieve success inside and outside the show ring. “I always looked up to the green jackets,” Mather said. “I always knew I wanted to be a role model for the upcoming generation of kids, but also help juniors find and pursue their goals.” Colter Pohlman calls Hereford, Texas home and is an agricultural and applied economics and business administration freshman at Texas Tech University. As a fourth-generation Angus breeder and second-generation junior board member, Pohlman is passionate about carrying on the Angus tradition. He hopes to use this leadership opportunity to form closer connections with members from coast to coast. “Being elected to the board allows me to fulfill a lifelong dream of mine,” Pohlman said. “I am excited to give back to the association that has given me so many friends and so many lifelong skills.” To learn more about the NJAB, visit www.angus.org/NJAA/home/board.

American Angus Association® names new regional manager Kansan Quanah Gardiner hired to serve Hawaii, Idaho, Oregon and Washington.
The American Angus Association® welcomes Quanah Gardiner of Ashland, Kansas, as the regional manager for the northwest region of the United States. As a fifth-generation Angus breeder, Gardiner brings industry knowledge and experience to his newly assigned territory. “I am eager to learn how to best assist Angus producers in the western U.S. and help them achieve their goals,” said Gardiner. “Beef production in the west may slightly differ from the production environment in the Midwest, however the goal across all production sectors is the same — producing the very best Angus beef in a sustainable environment.” In the regional manager position, Gardiner will work with breeders in the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Hawaii to promote Angus cattle, improve management practices, inform producers about Association programs and services, and help locate Angus seedstock. He can also advise producers on marketing opportunities available through the Association, including advertising in the Angus Journal, Angus Beef Bulletin and other avenues. “The regional manager position combines three things I enjoy most — working with cattle, working with people, and most importantly, the opportunity to serve others,” said Gardiner. David Gazda, Association director of field services, says he’s thrilled to have Gardiner as a part of the Angus regional manager team. “Quanah has a unique combination of seedstock experience and the ability to connect with commercial cattlemen that makes him a great fit.” Gardiner graduated from the University of Kansas with a bachelor’s degree in secondary education. After completing a year as a rural high school teacher and athletics coach, he desired to return to his passion of the cattle industry. As a longtime member of the Angus family, Gardiner’s experience began on his family’s seedstock operation, Gardiner Angus Ranch. Growing up, he participated in several National Junior Angus Shows and learned firsthand the responsibilities and value of the regional manager position.
