KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Each spring the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) and the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) partner to host an online sale hosted through Lowderman Auction Options, in an effort to support the year's Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE). This year's “Banners in the Bluegrass,” spring sale, supporting the 2022 JNHE in Louisville, Ky., helped raise money for these programs. 

HYFA is founded on four pillars: scholarship, leadership, education and research. The JNHE falls directly in line with education, providing opportunities for junior members across the country to gain hands-on skills as leaders and changemakers in the Hereford breed. HYFA began the Growing a Lasting Legacy Campaign in 2013 and since then has been fundamental in the production of each year's JNHE. Giving through the Growing a Lasting Legacy campaign, and online sales such as this one, provide opportunities for breeders, supporters and family to support the youth of the Hereford breed.
