International Junior Brangus Breeders Association Legacy Foundation

Established in 2019 by the IJBBA Board of Directors, the International Junior Brangus Breeders Association Legacy Foundation was established to help IJBBA continue to offer imperative educational opportunities to its junior membership while providing donors with the ability to make tax-deductible contributions.  IJBBA hopes that this will allow for expansion of what it is able to offer to juniors and help us Leave a "Legacy" for the future.

PROCEEDS GO TO BENEFIT

​IJBBA Legacy Leadership Conference
The IJBBA Legacy Leadership Conference is a three-day biennial event that focuses on developing the knowledge and skills of young cattle enthusiasts.  The conference allows attendees to gather outside the show ring and participate in activities designed to enhance their knowledge of the beef cattle industry and empower them to become the next generation of leaders.  Attendees participate in tours of key industry relevant businesses where they are exposed to new and innovative production practices, technological advances and thought processes.  Core aspects of public speaking, critical thinking, teamwork, character development and personal growth are stressed to help participants grow as individuals and future leaders.

National Junior Brangus Show
NJBS is the largest annual event of the IJBBA focusing on developing the knowledge and leadership skills of youth.  Members are not only provided with an opportunity to exhibit their Brangus cattle projects, but also compete in various contests designed to develop skills critical to their development as young cattle industry leaders.  Public speaking, marketing skills, critical thinking, teamwork, character development and leadership ability are all core aspects of the contests held annually. Various clinics and seminars are also held throughout the week to further develop juniors’ knowledge base and prepare them for a long future with the Brangus breed.

Member Outreach & Education
IJBBA Board of Directors and Members will travel across the country attending cattle industry events such as livestock expositions, conferences, sales and seminars as junior representatives of the Brangus breed.  Their focus will be to educate additional members of both IBBA and IJBBA as well as volunteer their assistance where needed.
