The Junior Breeder of the Year application is now LIVE!
The 2024-2025 AGJA Board of Directors have given serious thought to serve the tradition of awarding its members who work tirelessly on their herd’s genetics, educating others about the breed, and taking ownership of their skills and knowledge as it pertains to the relevance to the industry. Determining how best to serve its membership while honoring the traditions and prestige of the formerly recognized Premier Breeder contest and continue its relevance and recognition through this award we hope you’ll consider submitting a nomination of your own. The idea behind such award is to retain the opportunity to recognize a junior member who goes above and beyond the call of duty regarding the Gelbvieh breed, their family’s operation, the education of the breed, as well as exemplifying good character and leadership skills amongst their peers.
In doing so, the board of directors would like to encourage any interested individuals/families to submit a nomination for the 2025 AGJA Junior Breeder of The Year Award on or before April 1, 2025. A winner will be selected following the interviews and recognized during the 2025 AGJA Annual Awards Banquet sponsored by the American Gelbvieh Foundation taking place at the 2025 AGJA Grand Ole Gelbvieh Junior Classic on Friday, June 27, 2025.
