NATIONAL JUNIOR BRANGUS SHOW
Various junior shows sponsored by regional organizations used the title of “International,” but the first official NJBS under the direction of IJBBA was held in 1982 in Moberly, Missouri, and drew 25 entries. In its early years, NJBS relied heavily upon a host ranch or state to provide everything from funding, site selection and planning to meals, hotels, stall bedding and exhibitor gifts.
Today, NJBS is the annual marquee event of the IJBBA. It is one of the largest gatherings of Brangus breeders in the nation and often referred to as the “Brangus Family” reunion. Complete funding and execution is no longer the responsibility of a host ranch or state, as the IJBBA accomplishes those tasks with the support of numerous sponsors and volunteers. Numerous state groups still jump in to join planning efforts, but the National Junior Brangus Show is a TRUE National Show!
