LINCOLN, Neb. – The 2025 American Gelbvieh Junior Association (AGJA) Grand Ole Gelbvieh Junior Classic is scheduled for June 23-27, 2025, in Lebanon, Tennessee. With 305 entries from 154 exhibitors traveling from 18 states and Canada, it will surely be a highlight of the summer.

The Grand Ole Gelbvieh Junior Classic will feature educational contests consisting of prepared public speaking, quiz bowl, sales talk, skill-a-thon, team fitting and livestock judging. Juniors will exhibit their animals and skills during the AGJA National Showmanship Contest, AGJA National Gelbvieh Show, AGJA National Balancer® Show, and the AGJA National Market Show.

The AGJA is excited to welcome Adrianne Trennepohl, Middletown, Ind., and Clair Trennepohl Hoblyn, York, Neb., to serve as the AGJA National Showmanship Contest judges; Tom Hawk, Earlville, Ill., as the AGJA National Balancer Show judge; and Brady Jensen, Courtland, Kan., to serve as the AGJA National Gelbvieh Show and AGJA National Market Show judge.

“The countdown is on the Grand Ole Gelbvieh Junior Classic — and we’re ready to make this summer unforgettable. This event is more than a cattle show; it’s where juniors grow into leaders, friendships turn into lifelong connections, and pride in the breed shines brightest,” said Martha Moenning, American Gelbvieh Association (AGA) member and youth activities coordinator. “We’re excited to see the next generation step up, stand out, and make their mark in and out of the showring.”

The AGJA board of directors, Tennessee Gelbvieh Association, Tennessee Gelbvieh Junior Association, and AGA staff are excited and look forward to watching champions be inducted into Grand Ole Gelbvieh history, and a grand ole time to be had by all in Lebanon.

The American Gelbvieh Junior Association is the junior division of the American Gelbvieh Association. The AGJA provides members up to 21 years of age the opportunity to participate in youth activities.
