Summer is here and Angus activities are lined up for you to enjoy with family and friends! The Kansas Junior Angus Show June 5th & 6th will have a fun packed two days. Contests, cattle show and meetings. The Kansas Angus Association Board will have their quarterly board of directors meeting during this event on Thursday evening June 4th.

July will see us all traveling to Tulsa to the National Junior Angus Show during the dates of the 13 th through the 18th. The Kansas Juniors will be competitively involved in contests and cattle shows.

The week long activities will be a great place to catch up with friends and cheer on the “home team” in all that our Juniors will be participating in. The American Angus Auxiliary will have a summer meeting for members and guests during the week.

Our annual summer/fall Kansas Angus tour and field day will not be scheduled this year due to a bus tour from the Angus Convention in November through several stops in eastern Kansas. We will have approximately three ranch stops and you will have the opportunity to display cattle at one of those points on the tour. It will be a one day tour starting from the convention site and returning there early evening. We are excited about having these stops and showcasing Kansas Angus.

Notes & News from Anne .Opportunity

This issue features two event that give Kansas Angus Association members and junior members the opportunity to take advantage of being a part of our organization .

Junior members and their families can participate in the KJAA Preview Show.

The Preview is much more than a cattle show with opportunities to participate educational contests , activities and meetings which can broaden their knowledge of the Angus industry . The weekend is also a great time to meet new people with similar interests and learn from each other.

In November, the National Angus Convention and Trade Show is in Overland Park. The KAA has teamed up with the American Angus Association to offer an pre-convention tour of Kansas Angus ranches. We will host the tour on November 2 with three “tour stops” -Mill Brae Ranch, May-Way Farms and Chair Rock Ranch. While time and distance from the convention site limits the places visited on the tour, KAA members have the opportunity to display cattle at two of the host locations. ( see the inside front cover of this KAN for info) . I am very excited about the opportunity to host this tour in Kansas and look forward to working with KAA members and the American Angus Association staff to make it a success. This tour will set the precedent for similar tours held in other locations as the NAC&T moves to a different state each year. I know Kansas Angus breeders will seize this opportunity as we welcome Angus breeders and enthusiasts to Kansas.

Kansas Angus Auxiliary Well, summer is here! Kids are out of school and summer travels begin! The Kansas Juniors have, well, “quite the reputation” when traveling to any Junior Nationals. I am proud to have been one of those Juniors growing up, and now I am proud to be part of the Auxiliary supporting those same bright and enthusiastic individuals.

When we teach our children about being respectful and responsible adults, many times we forget about the reputations that our children also gain when representing our associations and states. The Juniors representing the State of Kansas are individuals of great leadership as shown through the many activities that they partake in at Nationals. Furthermore, if we look back on the history of Kansas representatives on the National Junior Board, or even contestants and winners of the title Miss American Angus, we see that Kansas Juniors have “quite the reputation” to uphold.

From the beginning, the Kansas and American Angus Auxiliaries have worked diligently to support our Juniors in all aspects of their growth. We provide opportunities to further their education through scholarships presented on the State and National level. We provide many opportunities for our Juniors to build upon their leadership skills through events and activities at Junior Nationals – each summer! But most of all, we continue to support our Juniors and their families alongside the ring. Even the smallest word of encouragement can makes the biggest impact.

So, I say to each family and Auxiliary member – thank you for your continued support of our Juniors as we continue to show them what it means to be a respectful and responsible adults as they grow. Kansas Juniors will always have a reputation of being strong leaders and competitors both in, and out of the show ring. And, as we come home from another long week of competing and leading, congratulations on all of your successes! We are very proud of “quite the reputation” you have built.
