The 2025-2026 American Gelbvieh Junior Association (AGJA) board of directors is excited to open the nomination process for the AGJA Junior Breeder of the Year award. The award and nomination process is focused on the opportunity to recognize a junior member who goes above and beyond the call of duty regarding the Gelbvieh breed, their family’s operation, educating others about the breed, and exemplifying good character and leadership skills among their peers. Looking to the future, the AGJA hopes to continue providing an atmosphere of inclusion, leadership, professional development, and opportunity to all youth. Nominations close May 1, 2026.
