Hundreds of National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) members from across the nation competed in the photography and poster contests, exhibiting their passion and dedication to the Hereford breed through arts.
The winning participants were recognized and awarded at the VitaFerm Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) on July 10, during the Buckle and Awards Ceremony.
Junior members captured snapshots of the Hereford story in a national photography contest. The photo contest helps and encourages NJHA members to develop their photography skills and creativity while looking through the lens of a camera.
Each age division is divided into two categories: Hereford cattle and Hereford people. Photo contest entries were submitted prior to the JNHE and judged by a panel of experts.
Shawn Crutcher of Montrose placed first in the Intermediate division for Hereford people.
