2026 American Gelbvieh Junior Association The Good Life Junior Classic, June 21-26, 2026 | Grand Island, Nebraska

Junior Classic

The national junior show is held every year during the American Gelbvieh Junior Association annual Junior Classic. This event is held in a different location each year. Members between the ages of 8-21 along with their families from all over the U.S. come to participate in more than twelve contest, exhibit cattle, and see their “Gelbvieh family” each summer. The event provides more than just a contest space for our members. The AGJA Junior Classic is an opportunity for members of all ages to network with their friends and industry professionals but also provides a platform to grow as young cattlemen and cattlewomen and advocates of the beef industry. The Junior Classic plays host to the annual meeting of the American Gelbvieh Junior Association, voting of the newly elected AGJA Board of Directors, and a celebratory banquet to conclude the six-day event. The AGJA Junior Classic is possible due not only the hard work and preparation of the AGJA Directors, and host state, but to those who continue to generously donate and sponsor. This event continues to grow each year with no sign of slowing down.
