Texarkana, AR–  The All American National Junior Brahman Show is underway at the Four States Fairgrounds bringing more than 900 head of Brahman Cattle from across the United States to Texarkana, Arkansas to compete for awards and scholarships.  These Junior Livestock producers take great pride in caring and showing their cattle.

The main event of the All American consists of two days of cattle exhibition where the youth have the opportunity to exhibit both bulls and females in their respective divisions.  The bred and owned division gives the American Junior Brahman Association (AJBA) members a chance to produce their own champions.  In this show, members exhibit cattle they have bred and raised themselves.

The F-1Female Division show gives the AJBA members a chance to exhibit Golden Certified F-1 Females at the All American.  F-1 Females must be certified through the ABBA F-1 Program, but don’t be fooled to think the All American is just a cattle show.  Contest for these youths to compete in include Queen & Princess, Photography, poster, public speaking, herdsman quiz, quiz bowl, sponsorship, herdsmanship, sales talk, and better beef.

These juniors are competing for over $50,000 in awards and scholarship during the All American show this week at the Four States Fairgrounds in Texarkana.
