"In 2018, my sister and I traveled to Arkansas for our first JRA Roundup. Being from Florida, we didn’t know any other kids who were involved in the Red Angus breed, so we saw this as our opportunity to network and learn more about the breed. Ever since then, it has been one of our favorite trips to take. We have met so many people from around the country and learned so much not only about the breed, but about agricultural industries as a whole!" - Tiffany
