National Junior Angus Association (NJAA) members can look forward to a number of activities and events in the upcoming New Year, and there’s no better time to start making plans for 2016. That’s according to American Angus Association Director of Events and Education Jaclyn Clark, who is encouraging NJAA members to reference their “green books,” which were recently distributed through the mail, to submit event registration in a timely manner. “We’re looking forward to hosting Angus juniors for two Raising the Bar conferences in March and April, as well as during annual events such as the National Junior Angus Show and Leaders Engaged in Angus Development conference,” Clark says. Made possible through donations to the Angus Foundation, the NJAA’s Raising the Bar conferences are an opportunity for junior members to experience college campuses across the country, learn about careers in agriculture and connect with other cattle enthusiasts. The University of Arkansas will host a Raising the Bar conference March 3-6, 2016, in Fayetteville, Ark.; and South Dakota State University will be the host April 7-10, 2016, in Brookings, S.D. The tentative schedule for both conferences includes a campus tour, educational workshops, farm and ranch tours, as well as social activities and games. “The National Junior Angus Board has been planning some fantastic events at the University of Arkansas and South Dakota State University,” Clark says. “We encourage all of our junior members to consider attending one of the conferences.” Registration for the Arkansas event is due by Feb. 1, 2016, and to attend Raising the Bar in South Dakota, you must be signed up by March 1, 2016. To participate, visit the NJAA website to download registration forms. The $100 registration fee covers lodging, conference meals and materials. “NJAA members can also find these and other deadlines listed in their green books, which should arrive in the mail by the first of the year,” Clark says. “You can also request a copy by calling the Association office.” For more information on these events or to see more registration deadlines, visit www.njas.info.

A motion to approve the minutes was made by Jerry Cassady and seconded Alan Miller. The motion passed. Doug Turner gave the business manager’s report. Doug informed the board that we are slightly down in membership this year at around 450 members. Our directory advertisement sales were very good.

The motion is to allow $1,200 for the junior awards at the Illinois State Fair and $500 for the awards at the Illinois Beef Expo. Trevor Kuipers seconded the motion and the motion carried. There was also discussion about contacting the Illinois State Fair manager about possibly changing the dates of the Illinois State Fair Open Angus Show. The committee also had the nomination list for judges for the Illinois Angus Futurity are Amie Sterzbach, Dale Grubbs, Dean Jensen, Blake Bloomberg, and Tom Hawk. The Illinois State Fair judge nominees are Scott Bush, Tyler Winegardner, Shane Lindsey, Chris Styles, and Scott Shaacke. Sherry Adcock gave the report from the Illinois Junior Angus Association.

report to the board was given by Jill Johnson. She told us that the current Illinois Beef magazine containing the Illinois Angus News issue for September/October is out. Jill Johnson discussed the IBA junior board elections that were held during the Illinois State Fair.

Old Business: None New Business: Kevin Rose brought concerns, from the membership to the board, about the Illinois Angus News.

There was a motion to amend the previous motion brought to the floor by Alan Miller.

At Rhodes Angus our breeding priority is fertility and extended cow productivity in a limited resource fescue environment. It has been our experience that AI sires with good numbers can work but bulls with great big numbers seldom do. The use of highly proven AI sires and adherence to strict culling, although not glamorous, yield consistent, predictable, very acceptable results and gives us the ability to tell our bull customers what to expect out of our bulls and how best to use them.
