American Junior Simbrah Roundup 2011

This was the 12th Annual American Junior Simbrah Roundup (AJSR) and it was the biggest to date. This event drew 93 youth from Texas and Louisiana and ??? head of cattle.

It was once again held in Wharton, Texas and in addition to the cattle show, there were ? leadership contests and lots of fun for all ages.

The food, under the direction of head chef, Benny Cano was excellent and David Onstot provided somewhere around 15 gallons of homemade ice cream for everyone. Plus the famous Village People were back for the dance with some new members to their group.

Seth Lucas, an ag science teacher, judged the showmanship and Bred and Owned shows, while Chris Shivers, American Brahman Breeders Association CEO judged the percentage and purebred shows.

The advisors, led by Joe and Julie Mask outdid themselves as far as organization, door prizes, award prizes and overall fun. The Masks are joined by the Fuch, Schultz, Wells, Grimshaw and Finch families in directing the event.

There’s so much that goes on and so much to say—but we’re going to let the photos tell the story!
