The American Gelbvieh Association will be hosting the 2024 “Way Out West Classic” in Woodward, Oklahoma from June 30 to July 5! Farm Director KC Sheperd is visiting with Jacie Forbes and Gentry Warner of the American Gelbvieh Junior Association about the event.
At the Way Out West Classic, active Junior Gelbvieh Association members will gather for a week-long of educational activities that will test their knowledge of the association and the beef industry. The week will end with the national Gelbvieh show, including 177 exhibitors from 19 different states, making it one of the biggest junior national events for the Gelbvieh breed.
The event provides more than just a contest space for members. The AGJA Junior Classic is an opportunity for members of all ages to network with their friends and industry professionals but also provides a platform to grow as young cattlemen and cattlewomen and advocates of the beef industry. The Junior Classic plays host to the annual meeting of the American Gelbvieh Junior Association, voting of the newly elected AGJA Board of Directors, and a celebratory banquet to conclude the six-day event. The AGJA Junior Classic is possible due not only the hard work and preparation of the AGJA Directors, and host state, but to those who continue to generously donate and sponsor. This event continues to grow each year with no sign of slowing down.
Everyone is welcome to come out and watch the cattle show to see what the Gelbvieh breed is all about! For more information, visit https://gelbvieh.org/juniors/agja-events/junior-classic.
