About FUZION
Who is NAJRAE? NAJRAE is the only 100% volunteer based organization to host a national junior show for young agriculturalist to exhibit their cattle and participate in satellite contest that provide educational opportunities to all age groups. One of the first organizations to implement programs for the youth under the age of 8 to ensure a full family experience. Twenty years ago, the industry was missing a specific event for families that were raising Red Angus cattle to have a national junior show in the summer months like all other breeds. A group of volunteers got together and started NAJRAE to benefit the families and youth with Red Angus cattle. After nineteen years of success the organization has decided to open its doors to have one of the first all angus influenced events in modern time.
While NAJRAE continues to retain its focus, the organization will be expanding in 2025 by introducing an Angus Invitational to include purebred and percentage angus event. For the past 19 years the NAJRAE has hosted events around the country to provide opportunities for families to attend and share in the experience of NAJRAE. June 2025 will be the 20th year anniversary and the experience and excitement will be the no different. Sticking to the roots and fundamentals NAJRAE, will return to Spencer, IA where the very first event was held. The first two decades have been filled with challenges, experiences and opportunities for all involved. The next two decades are expected to be no different as the NAJRAE looks to expand and provide tremendous opportunities to the youth of this country that have the passion exhibit their cattle and experience the educational opportunities available during the week of NAJRAE.

NAJRAE
Nearly 20 years of belief in cattle and youth culminated in the largest
non-association event.
How it began.
NAJRAE was started as a summer event where juniors could compete in leadership building competitions, educational presentations and livestock competitions.
The event transitioned to become a non-profit organization. Funds and memberships were slim at the beginning, but the group persisted. Through ups and downs in nearly 20 years, the event has become the largest Red Angus junior event.
