Kinley Bozeman earns Junior Bronze and Silver Awards

Kinley Bozeman, Lubbock, Texas, has earned the National Junior Angus Association’s (NJAA) Bronze and Silver awards, according to Caitlyn Brandt, events and junior activities director of the American Angus Association^® in Saint Joseph, Mo.

Bozeman is the 16-year-old daughter of Derek and Jennifer Bozeman and attends Idalou High School. She is a member of the NJAA and the Texas Junior Angus Association, where she currently serves as director.

Bozeman has participated in local and state shows.

She has also submitted weight data to the Angus Herd Improvement Records (AHIR^®) and consigned cattle to a private treaty sale.

The Bronze and Silver awards are the first two levels of the NJAA Recognition Program that began in 1972. Junior Angus breeders must apply for the awards, then meet point requirements in many areas of participation before receiving the honors. Applicants are evaluated in areas of junior Angus association activities and leadership, participation in showmanship, contests and shows, using performance testing to improve their herd and their progress in producing and merchandising Angus cattle.

     The NJAA promotes the involvement of young people in raising Angus cattle, while also providing leadership and self-development opportunities for the nearly 4,500 active members nationwide.
