Missouri Junior Red Angus Association

Our Motto

We are a group of Red Angus producers committed to raising quality cattle and growing together in the process!

The Missouri Junior Red Angus Association is dedicated to helping young cattlemen and women build knowledge, confidence, and lifelong connections. By engaging in hands-on events, educational opportunities, and leadership activities, Junior members play an active role in promoting Red Angus genetics while preparing for success in both purebred and commercial operations. This is more than a youth group—it’s a community rooted in agriculture, hard work, and future-driven goals.
