These four pillars are the motivation behind all fundraising efforts, creating and developing growth in the next generation of Hereford breeders and cultivating leaders who will be instruments in next steps in research for the industry.
Because of HYFA, National Junior Hereford Association members from 19 different states, from coast to coast, all came together to learn more about the Hereford breed and improve themselves for the future, further developing the pipeline of future leaders.
To kick off the month, the BOLD leadership conference was held in Desdemona, Texas. This elite leadership opportunity is free for juniors to attend, and assists them in capitalizing on their leadership skills as well as personal and professional development. Thank you to GKB Cattle and Gary and Kathy Buchholz for again making this event possible.
On April 13, juniors and adults joined together in Scott City, Kan., at HRC Feedyards LLC, to look at their cattle on feed in the NJHA Fed Steer Shootout Program, and participate in the field day. This event is a one of a kind educational opportunity in the industry where junior Hereford members learn more about the cattle feeding industry.
