Red Angus Round-Up provides a dynamic schedule filled with educational tours and hands-on learning experiences about agriculture.

This experience allows JRA members to explore different regions of the country while gaining unique insights into the beef industry and agriculture they may not have encountered before. This is a great chance to meet members and breeders from throughout the country, as well as travel!

Juniors who are not old enough to fly alone must travel with a chaperone to and from the event. JRA will not be responsible for arranging travel or providing someone to accompany them.
