NATIONAL JUNIOR HEREFORD ASSOCIATION FED STEER SHOOTOUT FIELD DAY In early April in Scott City, Kans., the National Junior Hereford Association held the Fed Steer Shootout Field Day at HRC Feed yards. The IJHA had four IJHA member in attendance. Members included (pictured left to right) - Morgan Richardson, Molly Biggs, Kade Boatman, Kendall Boatman, and Dellana Muck. This event is designed to educate juniors about the feedlot and meat packing industry. The event utilized educational speakers from Cargill, including Jarrod Gillig (Cargill Protein North America, President, Business Operations and Supply Chain), Jermey Burr (the Dodge City GM, who’s plant harvested around 5700 head of cattle daily), Nick Hardcastle (the BM for Cargill’s Boxed Beef Programs), Jenna Frink (Trim Pricing Manager) and Andrew Livingston (Fabrication General Supervisor). For a more in-depth look at the event check out the The Junior Hereford Show podcast where IJHA members, Noah Benedict, Kade and Kendall Boatman visit about the field day.
B.O.L.D. LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE In late March, five IJHA members attended the first ever B.O.L.D. (Building on Leadership Development) Conference in Desdemona, Texas, held at GKB Ranch. Members in attendance included - Molly Biggs, Dellana Muck, Paige Lemenager, Lauren McMillian and Noah Benedict. B.O.L.D. is the newest NJHA leadership opportunity designed for a select few NJHA members to build on their leadership skills and further develop meaningful connections. B.O.L.D. was hosted at Hi Point Ranch, owned by Gary and Kathy Buchholz of GKB Cattle. The event was filled with sessions for members to grow all around. Sessions included keynote speaker Kelly Barnes; career round tables with Gary and Kathy Buchholz, Andrew and Shelby Conley (GKB Cattle), Katie Marston (PepsiCo.), and Colton Pratz (AHA); and a workshop led by Shannon Worrell of Ag One Source on understanding your personality types and resume building. There were also sessions led by some of Illinois’ very own - NJHA Leadership Chair, Lauren McMillian, led the session on intra vs. interpersonal Communication. The IJHA would like to sincerely thank Gary and Kathy Buccholz for hosting the juniors in their home and to all involved in the planning of this once in a lifetime experience.
