Our by-laws define the principles and guidelines that govern the Junior Red Angus Association.
This document includes membership requirements, the structure of association meetings, board of director policies, and other essential information for junior members. By becoming a member of the JRA, each individual agrees to uphold these by-laws.
The JRA Code of Conduct outlines the expectations for junior members’ behavior and details the potential consequences of violations. Each JRA member, along with a parent or guardian, is required to read, sign, and submit the Code of Conduct prior to participating the designated JRA-sponsored show, conference or event.
The JRA is the organizational name for junior members of the Junior Red Angus Association. It is made up of all of the junior members of the Association. The JRA is governed by an eight-member board which is elected each year during the annual meeting of the JRA which is held during the Red Angus Youth Expo, the National Junior Red Angus Show.

Yes, they can but it is not recommended for females. If a cow is owned partially between two accounts, both accounts will be billed the annual THR assessment in full ($28).
If the cows are owned under your child’s junior membership, the data must be entered under that account. You can link the accounts under one login by filling out an Agent Cooperator Agreement. This allows for you to toggle between different accounts without logging out completely.
Yes, you can register a calf at any time. If you register before weaning, the weaning information will need to be entered in later to avoid the animal moving to a Category 2.
Email data@redangus.org with the registration number(s) that you need papers printed for.
All animals have to have a parentage test completed and on file with the association for that animal to be eligible to show.
