— Show Your Stars and Stripes in Kansas City —
2008 National Junior Shorthorn Show and Youth Conference • Kansas City, Missouri • June 30th — July 5th

— Each summer TJSA members have traveled to the Shorthorn Jr. Nationals to show their cattle as well as compete in the many youth conference contests. This year it is going to be held in Kansas City, Missouri. Jr. Nationals is a week full of fun contests and the making of friends and memories. You do not have to bring a calf to compete in the many other exciting events (except showmanship) so don’t let that hold you back! The other activities and contests of the week include arts and crafts, herdsman quiz, photography, promotional poster, showmanship, and speech contests. There are also team events including beef cook-off, team fitting, and team salesmanship. As a state we will enter the herdsmanship, state booth, and scrapbook contest. There are also awards given out for high point individual in each age division and high point state which combines all the contestants’ points from your state. Texas has competed well in the past, placing in the state contests several times in the past few years. This year we want to make a run for the high point state award, so everyone’s participation is needed. The officers encourage you to enter as many contests as you wish, there is no limit and they all are a lot of fun! — Liz Stanford, TJSA Vice President
