Angus juniors from 21 states gather to resume the annual Raising the Bar Conference.
This year junior Angus members had the chance to experience “sweet home Alabama,” Auburn University, Alabama Angus and Southern hospitality at the 2021 Raising the Bar. Forty-six junior members from 21 states gathered in Montgomery, Alabama, for the National Junior Angus Association Raising the Bar Conference on April 8-11.
While the NJAA provides opportunities within the show ring, the opportunities don’t stop there. Many juniors agree, leadership conferences offered by the NJAA are another huge highlight of being involved in the association. Since the 2020 Raising the Bar Conference at Colorado State University had to be canceled due to the pandemic, juniors were more excited than ever to be together again to tour a potential college prospect where they may later further their academic careers.
