The Business Breed

The Angus Breed first came to America in 1873, when George Grant brought them from Britain to the Kansas prairie. There, he introduced four Angus bulls to the native herds of Texas Longhorns. From those beginnings, today Angus cattle can be found in every region of the country. The breed has reshaped rural America like no other, and the contributions of individuals like Grant continue to resonate across the countryside. Formed in 1883, the American Angus Association® is the largest breed registry in the nation. The Angus breed now accounts for more than 50 percent of all purebred registrations in the U.S. seedstock business. The Association also provides programs and services to farmers, ranchers and others who rely on Angus to produce quality genetics for the beef industry and quality beef for consumers. The most visible Angus market advantage in the consumer arena is the Certified Angus Beef ® (CAB ®) brand. In grocery stores and restaurants across the globe, people are enjoying high-quality CAB Angus Beef products from the world’s largest branded beef program. Early on, Angus ranchers recognized the need to encourage young leaders to help continue the evolution of the breed’s success. In 1956, the Junior Activities Department was formed to encourage young people to become involved with the Angus and beef industry. Each year, more juniors join and participate in the National Junior Angus Association than any other youth cattle organization. The NJAS is a time to showcase and support young juniors in their efforts to make an impact and possibly become future leaders of the Angus industry. We invite you to join us in our celebration of these dedicated young people.


In more ways than one, Angus is synonymous with quality. Generations of hardworking cattlemen have built the breed into what it is today – the No. 1 choice for genetics in the beef industry, predictability in the feedlot, and overall eating satisfaction in restaurants and grocery stores worldwide.The National Junior Angus Show (NJAS) in Kansas City engages all areas of the Angus business: quality cattle in the showring, industry knowledge through educational contests, presentations on creative beef meals, and most importantly, the families and faces involved in raising Angus cattle.

angus means business.

NJAS Information

The NJAS is a week-long event filled with education and entertainment that celebrates youth and the Angus breed. Through various contests and activities, participants, families and attendees learn about leadership, livestock and life.

Sponsored by the American Angus Auxiliary, the All-American Certified Angus Beef® (CAB®) Cook-Off Contest gives Angus exhibitors the opportunity to demonstrate their cooking and presentation skills, while preparing quality Angus beef. Teams are evaluated on their recipe, creativity and overall presentation.

The 12th Annual Angus Foundation Golf Tournament is an excellent way for Angus breeders and juniors to gather, have fun, and help fund the activities of the Angus Foundation. Established in 1980 as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, the Angus Foundation supports education, youth and research to advance the Angus breed and beef cattle industry. Generous gifts from Angus breeders, allied industry interests and friends have enabled the organization to annually increase its investments in Angus youth undergraduate and graduate scholarships, NJAA member and state junior association officer leadership training, adult education and cutting-edge research.

More than $200,000 will be given in undergraduate and graduate scholarships through the Angus Foundation.

Potential Stories

The American Angus Association and Angus youth have strong ties to the Kansas City area. The Angus breed got its start in the U.S. on the Kansas prairie, and this marks the fourth year Kansas City hosts the NJAS. Seventeen years ago, the NJAA implemented the Extemporaneous Public Speaking Contest at the NJAS in Kansas City.

Each year, junior members give back to the community by helping a charity in the NJAS host town. This year’s community project is aiding Harvesters Community Food Network program. Harvesters work weekly with more than 620 non-profit agencies to feed as many as 66,000 people a week. NJAA members and families can donate items during the opening ceremonies on July 6 or anytime during throughout the week. Visit www.njas.info or www.2013njas.harvesters.org for more information.

In 1988, the not-for-profit Angus Foundation awarded its first scholarship to Angus youth. This year at the NJAS, the Angus Foundation will give more than $200,000 in educational scholarships. At the heart of these awards is the strong belief that young people, whether they pursue a degree in agriculture or not, are the future of the Angus breed.

Last year, the NJAA elected the first Angus Ambassador to represent the NJAA at major beef industry conferences and events for the first time. This selected junior member will not only gain knowledge in the beef industry, but will also make memories that will last a lifetime. Lauren Adcock, Ill., served as the first-ever

ambassador and will end her term July 25.

News Releases

Tom and Lois Ames of Spruce Mountain Ranch, Larkspur, Colo., have made it their mission to support Angus youth and future agricultural leaders. Whether it’s by supporting their local 4-H organization or hosting the annual Leaders Engaged in Angus Development (LEAD) conference, the Ames family believes that investing time in the next generation should be a number one priority. Because of the support they have graciously shown for Angus youth and the Angus Foundation, the National Junior Angus Association (NJAA) chose to induct Tom and Lois Ames into the Honorary Angus Foundation during the 2013 National Junior Angus Show (NJAS) in Kansas City, Mo. “Tom and Lois are very deserving of the prestigious Honorary Angus Foundation recognition for all they’ve done for the Angus Foundation and NJAA in recent years,” says Milford Jenkins, Angus Foundation president. “Benefactors like the Ames, have encouraged and inspired other Angus breeders to join them in supporting the Angus Foundation’s efforts to advance education, youth and research.” The Ames family has shown much hospitality to the American Angus Association® in hosting the 2012 LEAD participants for dinner, as well as hosting the Angus Foundation’s Angus Night on the Mountain fundraising events the past two years during the National Western Stock Show (NWSS) in Denver. In addition, the Ames family has also purchased live auction items with proceeds supporting the Angus Foundation and donated gifts for other fundraising events, such as the 2010 “BLACK ONTRACK” event at Churchill Downs. Tom and Lois Ames both got their start in the cattle industry while growing up on dairy farms. They also shared an interest in raising beef cattle, so they jumped at the opportunity to purchase Spruce Mountain Ranch in 1999. With the help of their general manager, Mitch Rohr, they decided that Angus cattle would be the best fit for their ranch. Their ultimate goals are to sustain a purebred Angus seed stock operation, as well as create a distinct landscape and resort-like atmosphere for family, guests and potential customers to enjoy. Rohr says since he has known the Ames, they have always enjoyed giving back to youth and helping them get involved in the agricultural industry. “They are always supporting local youth programs and continued their support into the Angus Foundation due to the opportunities that are given to the youth,” Rohr says. “This award means a lot to them because they’re always trying to make a difference in the next generation.” In 1985, the NJAA Board of Directors established the Honorary Angus Foundation to recognize and thank those who have shown incredible support of Angus youth. Seven Angus breeders were honored as the first inductees, and each year the NJAA honors a maximum of three individuals. Any member of the American Angus Association is eligible to nominate individuals or organizations for the Honorary Angus Foundation. A complete list of members can be found online at www.ANGUS.org.

News Releases (cont.)Dedicated to youth, Ray Sims

Ray Sims recognized as 2013 Honorary Angus Foundation inductees.

Few names are more recognized in the Angus business than Ray Sims. The famed cattle auctioneer transformed purebred cattle auctions from simple events to fast-paced, entertaining productions that generated profitable results. Ray passed away in 2012, but his legacy lives on in the Angus breed through the Ray Sims Angus Scholarship Endowment Fund and all of the lives he has touched. To honor the Sims family, the National Junior Angus Association (NJAA) chose to induct Ray into the Honorary Angus Foundation during the 2013 National Junior Angus Show (NJAS) in Kansas City, Mo. His wife Melva accepted the award on his behalf. Angus Foundation President Milford Jenkins says Ray’s focus on people is what truly set him apart from other individuals. “Ray Sims will be held in high regard for his auctioneering at Angus sales, but he will be remembered far longer for his genuine interest and compassion in the well-being of the Angus breeders and their families that he developed life-long friendships with, and frequently auctioneering for the second and third generation in those Angus programs,” Jenkins says. During his career, Ray traveled throughout the United States, selling for both large- and small-livestock breeders, including U.S. senators and three U.S. presidents. It’s estimated that he conducted more than 7,000 auctions, which were mostly registered Angus sales. In 2010, Ray Sims became the first auctioneer in more than 50 years to receive the prestigious Saddle and Sirloin Club’s Portrait Award. Once expenses were covered for Ray’s portrait now on display in the Saddle and Sirloin Portrait Collection in Louisville, Ky., the Ray Sims Portrait Committee donated the remaining funds of more than $20,000 to the Angus Foundation to establish the Ray Sims Scholarship Endowment Fund for Angus youth scholarships. Traveling to the NJAS to present the scholarships was always a special occasion for Ray and Melva. They enjoyed meeting and getting to know the outstanding Angus youth selected to receive the scholarship. The recipients of the Ray Sims Angus Scholarship will help carry his legacy into the future and will always owe a debt of gratitude to Ray for his impact on the Angus breed and cattle industry. Chris Sankey, American Angus Association® board member, says the couple believed the Angus Foundation was a natural organization to be involved with, because they both felt this was a place where they could make an impact for youth. “I know this means a lot to Melva and the Sims family,” Sankey says. “Not only to honor the memory of Ray, but also as an opportunity to carry on his legacy and develop that passion in young people for generations to come.” In 1985, the NJAA Board of Directors established the Honorary Angus Foundation to recognize and thank those who have shown incredible support of Angus youth. Seven Angus breeders were honored as the first inductees, and each year the NJAA honors a maximum of three individuals. Any member of the American Angus Association® is eligible to nominate individuals or organizations for the Honorary Angus Foundation. A complete list of members can be found online.

Eddie and Connie Sydenstricker of Sydenstricker Genetics, Mexico, Mo., have devoted their lives to improving and supporting not only the Angus breed and National Junior Angus Association (NJAA), but also the entire agricultural industry. To recognize their loyalty and commitment, the NJAA chose to induct the Sydenstrickers into the Honorary Angus Foundation during the 2013 National Junior Angus Show (NJAS) in Kansas City, Mo. “Loyal supporters of the Angus Foundation long-before I first met them in 2004, Eddie and Connie are always interested in knowing and learning how they can help us,” says Milford Jenkins, Angus Foundation president. “The Sydenstrickers do not just recognize they have a responsibility to give back to the Angus breed that has been a major part of their lives and Eddie’s late father Ralph Sydenstricker, they take action by making a difference in the lives of Angus youth and their fellow Angus breeders through their support,” Long-time supporters of the Angus Foundation, the Sydenstrickers have donated the heifer for the 1993 and 2012 Angus Foundation Heifer Package, contributed numerous gifts for fundraising events and most recently purchased the beautiful “Aberdeen Angus” wine barrel in support of the 2013 NJAS hosted by the Missouri Junior Angus Association. Eddie Sydenstricker was involved in forming the first-ever statewide junior Angus Association in 1956, and he served as its first president. He also served the Missouri Angus Association as treasurer for many years and gave three years of his time on the American Angus Association® Board of Directors. The Sydenstrickers got started in the Angus breed in 1952, when Eddie’s father, Ralph, founded Sydenstricker Angus Farms. With the help of loyal employees, Eddie and his wife have expanded the business to focus primarily on providing customers with predictable Angus genetics that supply economically important traits. They currently calve about 800 head of cattle each year with 20-25 percent being embryo transplant calves. The herd is maintained on 2,500 owned and 750 leased acres. Longtime employee Ben Eggers says the family has been one of the strongest supporters of the junior Angus programs. “Through the years, in countless ways, Eddie and Connie’s support of the Missouri juniors and NJAA has been unwavering and substantial,” Eggers says. In 1985, the NJAA Board of Directors established the Honorary Angus Foundation to recognize and thank those who have shown incredible support for Angus youth. Seven Angus breeders were honored as the first inductees, and each year the NJAA honors a maximum of three individuals. Any member of the American Angus Association is eligible to nominate individuals or organizations for the Honorary Angus Foundation. A complete list of members can be found online.

Devoted, proactive and deserving are a few words Texas Junior Angus Association (TJAA) members used to describe their state advisors, Tom and Merridee Wells. For nearly a decade of their lives, the couple’s tireless efforts have not only helped the TJAA become fierce competitors on the national level, but they’ve also impacted the entire Angus breed with their diligent efforts. To honor their never-quit attitude, the National Junior Angus Association (NJAA) recognized the Wells family as the Advisors of the Year at the 2013 National Junior Angus Show in Kansas City, Mo. Tylee Williams, TJAA member, describes the couple as her mentors and second parents who are always welcoming new members with open arms: “They are always there pushing each and every one of us to try a new contest or to step-up to our officer duties and fulfill our responsibilities,” Williams says. Whether they are helping with the team sales competition or the All-American Certified Angus Beef® Cook-Off contest, the Wells family has dedicated their lives in the service of the TJAA. Their commitment has resulted in Texas being one of the largest groups of juniors in the United States, bettering the breed and its youth. With a growing group of juniors finding enough time and resources can be a challenge. TJAA member Nikolyn Williams says the couple has made it their duty to ensure money was never an obstacle for Texas juniors to have a place to learn and grow. “Merridee and Tom demand excellence from themselves, as well as those surrounding them,” Nikolyn said. “Texas has flourished under their leadership, and we owe them a great debt of gratitude.” In 1980 the Advisor of the Year Award was introduced to recognize the tremendous contributions of junior Angus association advisors. Any junior Angus association advisors may be nominated for the award by sending in a letter of nomination.
