Brands in the Sand: A Celebration of Youth, Leadership, and Legacy

Brands in the Sand was nothing short of epic. From start to finish, this year’s All American event in Bryan, Texas was a shining example of what makes our junior program so impactful. With exhibitors and families traveling from seven states, the event brought together over 800 entries across multiple show divisions, along with leadership events and unforgettable experiences.

A heartfelt thank you goes to the AJBA Board, special committee chairs, the ABBA Youth Committee, and the ABBA staff—whose hard work and coordination made this year’s event such a resounding success.

Regardless of breed or geography, Junior Nationals remain a summer tradition for families who are passionate about cattle and community. The lessons learned, friendships formed, and memories made create lasting foundations for young people who will become the future of our breed and our industry.

Throughout the week, it was especially rewarding to witness the growth and leadership displayed by the AJBA Board as they mentored and supported younger members. Their example represents the very best of what youth livestock programs are meant to foster.

Show Highlights:

• Bred & Owned Show: 220 entries

• Owned Grey Female Show: 345 entries

• Owned Female Show: 248 entries

• Owned Bull Show: 203 entries

• F1 Show: 43 entries

State Participation:

• Texas – 151 exhibitors

• Louisiana – 78

• Florida – 51

• Mississippi – 17

• Oklahoma – 5

• Georgia – 2

• Arkansas – 1

As we reflect on this year’s event, it’s clear that Brands in the Sand was more than just a show—it was a celebration of dedication, community, and the bright future of the Brahman breed.

Excited for Next Year!
