Is the experience for the kids worth the drive and the time going to one of the Jr nationals? Considering it but not sure what to take as far as age class to show in.

Attending the Simmental Junior Nationals since I was old enough to do so has certainly provided me with both experiences and opportunities I would not have in any other organization. The AJSA is a unique association itself in the fact that juniors must participate in 3 of 4 educational contests in order to show their animals. The contests are the Cattlemen's Quiz, Sales Talk, Public Speaking, and Livestock Judging. Although I dreaded the contests as a young junior, I am thankful my parents made me participate in all of them every year. The skills I have developed in these contests, have in my opinion, helped form me into a well rounded individual. As far as the show portion of our junior nationals, I feel we have a very competitive show. If you are looking for a certain class to show in, I believe we have fewer numbers in the late summer classes. If you have any questions regarding the AJSA or Simmental Junior Nationals feel free to contact me.
