JUNIOR CORRAL  DUNCAN HAIAR, AJAA PRESIDENT

I can’t believe how quickly the 2019 National Western Stock Show (NWSS) is creeping up on us. Before we know it, we will be “In The Yards” getting to see all of our Stock Show friends. As the NWSS approaches, the American Junior Aber deen Associa

the lookout for more information as we get closer to Janu ary. Wow. You are not going to want to miss this! The Coffey Family at 7C Aberdeen Cattle Company is donating a half blood daughter of the great MRG Peter. This Aberdeen Plus heifer will be auctioned off to raise funds for the AJAA during the 2019 NWSS.

A huge thank you to the Coffey family for their support of the ju nior program. Stay tuned on how to help support the juniors with this awesome fundraiser. Make sure you are in Denver to bid on this beautiful female. Don’t miss coffee and dough nuts with the juniors on the morning of Jan. 24, 2019 (time and place to be announced). Come get yourself a cup of joe, a doughnut and visit with the direc tors about the AJAA while the 7C

tion (AJAA) is working diligently to prepare for the fundraising events taking place during the NWSS. We will once again host an auction during the national banquet. This auction serves as the main fundraiser to fund the 2019 Aberdeen Junior National Show. The auction is always a blast and the juniors appreci ate all those who donate and/ or support us at the auction. We have had some pretty cool auc tion items in the past, including many lots of semen from great Aberdeen bulls, a hog hunt on the Chain Ranch in Oklahoma and even a beyond-the-backdrop photo shoot at the NWSS. Be on

donation heifer is on display. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas! We are looking for ward to seeing you in Denver! God bless. TL
