Seniors!

The American Junior Shorthorn Association Board of Directors plays an important role in shaping the future of the Shorthorn breed and the opportunities available to junior members across the country. Serving on the board allows youth to develop leadership skills, represent their fellow AJSA members, and help guide the direction of the association.

If you are passionate about the Shorthorn breed, enjoy working with others, and want to make a difference, consider applying to serve on the AJSA Board of Directors. It is a great opportunity to grow personally, build connections, and give back to an organization that has given so much to so many young people.

Applications can be found at shorthorn.org and are due by April 15.

🌟 AMBASSADOR OF THE WEEK 🌟
This week, were proud to feature JAMS Shorthorns of Sidney, Ohio!

JAMS Shorthorns: A Legacy of Family & Excellence
Founded in 1976 when Jane Brautigam purchased our first heifer from local Shelby County breeder Bill Hoewisher, JAMS Shorthorns is built on a foundation of family and dedication. Our name represents Jane’s four sons: Josh, Andy, Mitch, and Sam.

For five decades, we have been a fixture at state and national shows, a tradition that continues today with the newest generation: Emily, Drew, Aaron, and Aiden Belle. We pride ourselves on maintaining a premier, proven genetic cow herd. Our focus remains steadfast on:
Productivity & Maternal Traits: Building cows that work as hard as they look.
Show Ring Success: Producing elite heifers capable of competing at the highest levels.

Thank you for representing the Ohio Shorthorn Breeders Association!
