We recently returned from one of the most enjoyable, com-petitive and weather-friendly

National Junior Chianina Heifer Shows I have ever attended. The Illinois Chianina Association went all out to provide junior Chianina exhibitors, parents and friends from all across the U.S. great hospitality, food, facility and fellowship in Springfield. I would like to thank the Gehrke, Elliott, Bucher, Wisnefski and Myers families and the entire Illinois group for their contri-butions to the success of this great breed event. In addition, thanks to the Michigan Chi Association for their great contribution of the Bush Hog Trailhand raffle and donation to the show. The support was greatly appreciated. Also, thanks to the Tennessee Junior Chi Association, Talmo Ranch and Horsley Brothers for helping sponsor meals and fun for the youth and to all who donated time, effort and finances, as we all know it take a tremendous amount to pull this show off. A special thank you to Heather Counts, Blair Tenhouse and the AJCA Board of Directors for their outstanding effort in conducting the contests, shows and banquet.

One of the highlights of the week was the junior benefit auction at the awards banquet where over $16,000 was raised to further enhance future National Junior Heifer Shows and ACA programs to provide leadership development, scholarships and edu-cation for junior Chianina members throughout the country.

Congratulations to Skyler Miller and his family from Torrington, Wyo., on

being named this year’s All-Around Champion and receiving the Chi heifer donated by Schrick Land & Cattle Ltd., Weatherford, Texas, and $1,000 in cash from Asgrow-DeKalb.

Many times it is easy to become pes-simistic about the economy, politics, natural disasters, crime and the direc-tion this country is headed. I would like to express the tremendous amount of pride and confidence that I have that our youth have the ability, intelligence, and initiative to excel at whatever career they choose, including animal agriculture, and our country will benefit from their leadership and citizenship contributions as they become adults. A lot of what the AJCA is about is not just showing cattle. The activities, leadership conferences and responsi-bilities our junior board of directors, junior advisors and junior members participate in are designed to help build responsibility, character, duty and the personal pride that is felt for a job completed and well done. The breed of cattle they breed, register and exhibit is one of the tools used to accomplish their goals.

It is certainly one of the highest pri-orities of your ACA Board of Directors and myself to develop programs to further enhance and elevate the AJCA to the next level and provide the youth that elect to participate in this great breed association the tools they need to excel in life, including scholarships for education, leadership development, Animal Science programs and char-acter building activities and hopefully someday become an adult member of the American Chianina Association.


Chi Performance

The new “Beef It’s What’s For Dinner” consumer advertising campaign premiered in May with an emphasis on helping Americans become more

familiar with the 29 lean cuts of beef. With a “29 Lean Cuts. One Powerful Protein” tagline, the new campaign will feature the nutritional benefits and versatility of six lean beef favorites: T-Bone steak, Filet, Top Sirloin, Strip steak, Top Round and 95 percent Lean Ground Beef.

It may surprise Americans to know that 63 percent of all beef muscle cuts available at grocery stores are lean. In fact, 15 of the top 20 most popular beef cuts at the grocery store are lean. To learn about all 29 cuts, go to BeefItsWhatsForDinner.com.

“This campaign reinforces consumers’ passion for the great flavor beef provides, while helping consumers identify the variety of lean options beef offers,” said Weldon Wynn, rancher from Star City, Ark., and vice chair of the industry’s Joint Advertising Committee.

“Beef farmers and ranchers from across the country direct the Beef Checkoff-funded ‘Beef, It’s What’s For Dinner’ campaign. I’m proud to be part of this exciting venture in helping Americans get to know the many great tasting lean beef cuts available.”

Getting to Know Beef’s Different PersonalitiesThe new print advertisements feature plated shots

of beef with a homage to each cut’s personality. For example, the T-bone advertisement zeroes in on a beauty shot of the steak and points out: “When all the steaks get together, they call this one boss.” The ad for the Filet Mignon, also known as the Tenderloin, reas-sures you that “mignon” is just fancy talk for mouthwa-tering.

The print advertisements will appear in monthly national magazines with an emphasis on food, health/fitness, parenting, lifestyle and men’s sports. Radio spots on nationally syndicated radio shows and satellite radio, combined with an outdoor advertising campaign in select markets, will follow shortly after the print ads

launch. Public relations, health professional outreach, social media and retail promotional efforts round out this integrated effort.

Lean Beef Offers the Power of ProteinIt is clear that lean beef is important to Americans

when you consider that 69 percent of consumers say buying lean cuts of meat is the most important thing to consider when shopping for food.

Lean beef is an excellent source of protein, with a 3-ounce serving providing 51 percent of the recom-mended daily value in less than 180 calories. Choosing lean beef as a source of protein can actually be a calorie-saver. A 3-ounce serving of lean beef provides the same amount of protein as 1-1/2 cups of beans, but with half the calories. Most Americans are not over-consuming protein. The average American is consuming only 2.3 ounces of red meat each day – much less than the 5.5 ounces from the meat and beans group recommended by the 2005 Dietary Guidelines.

“Most Americans are surprised to learn there are 29 cuts of beef that qualify as lean. In fact 70 percent of consumers are not aware one of their favorite steaks, the T-Bone, is lean,” said Kim Essex, senior vice presi-dent for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, which contracts to manage advertising programs for the Beef Checkoff. “This campaign sheds light on the variety of lean beef choices out there, as well as how they can be part of a delicious family meal.”

Greetings from Indiana!

I hope everyone had a safe trip home from Springfield. Another successful Junior National can be marked down in the books. Juniors, please remember to thank everyone who helped you get to Springfield. It’s great friends and family who

make it all possible.Congratulations to our new queen, Kelsey Culp from Kentucky. I am sure she will

represent our breed well. Congratulations to our scholarship winners, Taylor Graham and Sloan Witherow.

The North American is right around the corner. The “Come As You Are” luncheon will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 16. Please remember to bring a small gift for our gift exchange. As I have mentioned in previous articles, please dig deep for items for our Silent Auction. The proceeds go toward funding our queen and other activities throughout the year.

The ACLA would like to announce a new fundraiser – the ACLA Cookbook! We are currently working on this cookbook and we plan to have them for sale at Louisville. We will be working with an online cookbook company called Type N Save. Please send your recipes to www.typensave.com before Sept. 1, 2010. The group login is chianina and the password is 8j7eq. If you have any questions please email Deb Geuns at [email protected]. Please send yummy ones!!!!

Also, in this issue are the new guidelines for Chi Lady of the Year. We wanted to give more women the opportunity to be nominated even if they cannot make it the Louisville. The Chi Lady of the Year is a lady who has been active in Chi Cattle, works with the youth and is involved in her community. Please remember whoever is nominated does not have to be present at Louisville.

Good luck to everyone at your upcoming State Fairs and I will see you all in a few months at Louisville.

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer!! As many of you know we had our National Junior Heifer Show, which was a great event! A special thank you to the Illinois crew for putting on a fantastic show. Next time you see any of

them down the road, be sure to thank them again. Without the work of host states, these shows would not be possible.

It was great to see all the breeders who strive to improve our breed and all of the juniors. I would like to congratulate all you young people for doing a great job. For the newly elected board members, I am excited to work with all of you, it will be a great year! It was a really fun and exciting week. All events ran smoothly, even the Adult showmanship…well except for the heifers mysteriously getting loose! I am excited for next year as your newly elected president and this year should be another success.

Just a reminder that the National Show which is held in Louisville, Kentucky annually is just right around the corner. I hope everyone plans to attend this great event. It’s a great time to not only show off our amazing cattle, but to mingle with the great members of our association. Also make plans to attend the National Western Stock Show and Ft. Worth Stock Show.

Even though it’s a little under a year away, we would like to invite all junior members to attend the 2011 National Junior Heifer Show to be held in Kansas City, Mo., June 26-July 2. It will be a great time and one you won’t want to miss.

Sincerely,Josh NelsonAJCA President
