Tony Hayek Memorial Award Presented in Huron
LINCOLN, Neb. – Each year the Tony Hayek Memorial Award is presented at the American Gelbvieh Junior Association (AGJA) Junior Classic to the exhibitor of the Champion Bred and Owned Gelbvieh Heifer. This year’s recipient at the 2023 AGJA Great Dakota Classic held in Huron, South Dakota, was Lily Judd of Pomona, Kansas.
The Tony Hayek Memorial was established 20 years ago. Tony loved cattle, kids and having a good time. Junior Nationals was his family vacation nearly every year. Tony’s children Tina, Stan, Shellina and Janelle were all active in the Junior Gelbvieh Association. Three of the four have chosen to continue with their own herd (Cib’s Gelbvieh, Herink Gelbvieh and Taubenheim Gelbvieh). Tony’s influence in the breed lives on through his kids and grandkids as they participate in many shows and other Gelbvieh activities.
Tony was passionate about Gelbvieh cattle and knew the breed’s future was in the hands of the younger generations. He found great joy in teaching the youth about the Gelbvieh breed and helping them with their livestock projects. He loved watching his kids exhibit cattle, but he always wanted them to understand the skills that are needed outside of the show ring to breed quality cattle. Showing cattle takes a great deal of skill, but competing in the bred and owned division takes that skill to a much higher level. It is for that reason the Bred and Owned show was always one of his favorites.
Congratulations Lily Judd on achieving the Champion Bred and Owned Gelbvieh Heifer honor. Tony would be very proud of your dedication to breeding outstanding Gelbvieh genetics.

Forbes Named 2023 American Gelbvieh Junior Association Junior Breeder of the Year
LINCOLN, Neb. – Congratulations to Jaycie Forbes, daughter of Troy and Pam Forbes, of De Smet, South Dakota, on being named the 2023 American Gelbvieh Junior Association (AGJA) Junior Breeder of the Year.
Jaycie’s family owns and operates Forbes Ranch near Willow Lake, South Dakota, where Jaycie, alongside her brothers, Wyatt and Cody, strive to improve their herd’s genetics and promote the breed year-round. Jaycie is an integral part of her family’s operation assisting on the weekends, making breeding decisions, checking pastures, and ensuring records are accurate all while attending South Dakota State University where she is majoring in agricultural education and communication.
Forbes Ranch has done an excellent job marketing sale cattle over the last several years. Thanks to Jaycie and her marketing talents, their sales have expanded to several new states and introduced numerous new juniors to the AGJA program through their shared passion, communication and willingness to lend a helping hand.
Jaycie recently completed her second year on the AGJA board of directors, serving previously as a director and stepping into the role as president in her second year.
“Serving on the junior board can be a trying task, especially as president. Eyes are always on you – from the young junior membership, parents and the team you aim to lead. There is an immense amount of pressure to do good, be better and set an example. Jaycie is level-headed, a listener, a team player and frankly, a fierce competitor. She juggles her roles as leader, friend, sister, daughter, etc. with ease. Through every situation, Jaycie remains committed to the improvement of the AGJA and the Gelbvieh breed,” stated a close friend and AGJA alum.
Over the years, she has played a vital role in the association’s progression toward an inclusive and progressive environment. Her proactive approach to association needs provided guidance not only for her fellow directors but the membership of the AGJA in its first two years under the new 2022-2027 AGJA Strategic Plan.
When the selection committee was asked what made Jaycie stand out, they quickly responded with her attention to detail, ability to advocate for the breed as well as the industry, enthusiasm for breed marketing and forward-thinking ideas to improve the Gelbvieh breed’s relevance to the commercial producer.
Jaycie is a visionary and leads the AGJA with a humble, yet structured approach to change as it related to the association and its membership experience. Jaycie truly encompasses what this award was designed to promote, and we look forward to watching her in her role as the 2023-2024 AGJA President.
Now in its second year, the AGJA Junior Breeder of the Year was developed by the AGJA board of directors in the hopes to serve the tradition of awarding its members who work tirelessly on their herd’s genetics, educating others about the breed, and taking ownership of their skills and knowledge as it pertains to the relevance to the industry. The idea behind the award is to retain the opportunity to recognize a junior member who goes above and beyond the call of duty regarding the Gelbvieh breed, their family’s operation, education of the breed, as well as exemplifying good character and leadership skills amongst their peers.
Looking forward to the future, the AGJA hopes to continue providing an atmosphere of inclusion, leadership, professional development and opportunity to all youth. Congratulations to Jaycie Forbes on being named the 2023 recipient of this award.
