Have you heard of the California Junior Livestock Association (CJLA)? If not I will let you in on what it is all about. The CJLA is a great association that was formed to recognize the efforts of junior livestock exhibitors and reward them for their accomplishments. This is done by becoming a member and showing at CJLA sanctioned shows all over California. Once you have become a member you will earn points based on the placing you receive at each show within your divisions.
There is a steer division which is broken down into English, Black/Black Cross, and All Other Colors. As well as a section for Overall Steer. There is also a heifer division that has an Overall Heifer but is also broken down into Angus, Hereford, Shorthorn, Limousin, Maine-Anjou, Charolais, and All Other Breeds. There is also Sheep, Goat, and Hog divisions which are broke into age groups based on the exhibitor and each of those divisions has an Overall as well. Last but not least ,there are three age divisions for Showmanship in Beef, Sheep, Goats, and Hogs.
As you can see the CJLA is a great opportunity for the juniors to earn points and great awards. Each year the CJLA holds a banquet dinner for the exhibitors to receive their awards and around 700 people attend. This wonderful banquet is held every year at Western Bonanza! If you would like to join CJLA or know more about it go to the website http://www.californiajuniorlivestock.org/ join and sign up for this year’s points.
Thank You,
Ashley
