Junior Influence President’s Report
Spring 2015
Larissa Lupul
Greetings Canadian Junior Hereford Members!
I’d like to start off by thanking Meghan Black for being an amazing National
Adult Advisor to the CJHA. As many of you know, Meghan has taken a
position at a new job so she is no longer our adult advisor. We’ll miss you
Meghan!!
The CJHA board recently held our National Council Meeting in Calgary
from March 6-8. After meeting the new board members I can honestly tell
you that we have an extremely enthusiastic and intelligent group of delegates
this year. Below is a list of some of the important decisions that were made at
our meeting:
Bonanza 2015 will be Aerosol-Optional on Friday, July 31: After much
discussion, the CJHA Board has decided that Bonanza 2015 will be allowing
the use of aerosol products on Friday, July 31. This means that the open
grooming competition, showmanship competition, bred and owned, semen donation and commercial shows will be
aerosol-optional; juniors are welcome to use aerosol products if they want, but are not obligated to. In order for the Open
Show to retain MOE status, it will continue to be non-aerosol, as will the rest of Bonanza.
Rule Change for Bonanza 2015: The CJHA Board has changed the wording to Bonanza Rule 24 so that only CJHA
members who are Bonanza participants are allowed to work on/help with cattle at Bonanza.
Future of the Breed Scholarship: The CJHA Board accepted a proposal from the Keith Gilmore Foundation to bring the
Future of the Breed under the umbrella of the Keith Gilmore Foundation. This change will allow us to collect more interest
and benefit from their financial knowledge. It will also allow us to double the four award amounts from $500 to $1,000.
The selection process will stay the same but the KGF will review the recipients. Appropriate changes were made to the
application form. The CJHA would like to thank the Keith Gilmore Foundation for their continued support!
T Bar C Invitational: The CJHA has chosen to continue to sponsor a fairway ($750) at the T Bar C Invitational Golf
Tournament to show our thanks to them for their extremely generous support.
Cool New CJHA Merchandise: There will be drink tumblers and portable USB phone chargers with the CJHA logo on
them available for purchase at the Hereford Office soon. Both items would make awesome show prizes!
Communications Report
Heather Fisher-LeBlanc
A few brief announcements on the topics of publicity and
promotion. We are very excited to be sponsoring a fairway in
the T Bar Invitational Golf Tournament again this year and have
a junior representing us at this event. Also, watch our Facebook
for another round of Faces of the CJHA, where we will feature
each national delegate, Provincial Advisor and important face
to watch for at Bonanza 2015. As well, keep up to date with the

National Council Meeting Report
Spring 2015
Samantha Rimke
On March 6th to 8th, 2015, the CJHA National
Council met in Calgary for their spring council
meeting. This weekend was fun, educational and
successful weekend. We came up with new ideas on
how to keep moving the CJHA in the right direction to
success. I am proud to say we accomplished this task.
The delegates from across Canada received a
presentation from Doug Fee about leadership and
governance. After an eventful few days of discussion
and loads of thought we were able to take a tour from
William Torres of Cattleland in Strathmore. Not only
did we enjoy the successful educational portion of our
weekend but we also spent one night paintballing. I
wonder who had the biggest bruises?
fact sheet on Governance and updating the Fitting fact
sheet. Be sure to watch for these!
Your national delegates are excited for the upcoming
year for the CJHA. If you have any questions regarding
the CJHA or any upcoming events in your province be
sure to contact your provincial delegate. They are more
than willing to help you out with anything!
This year we will be offering a few new merchandise
items along with some promotional items. Be sure
to check out the CJHA store to find out what we will
have for you! This year we will be introducing a new
CJHA Project Updates & Deadlines
Semen Donation Project
Heifer Lottery Project
We would first like to thank all the donors who contributed
to make this project such a huge success. In 2014, over 200
straws of semen from 60 bulls were awarded to 38 juniors
and BC is very excited to be responsible for this project
this year. We are hoping to have at least another 60 bulls
on offer this year. It is also important to note that starting
this year, semen certificates will no longer be provided free
of charge, purchasing them will be the responsibility of
the junior. Again, thank you to all the donors who have
contributed to this great program over the years.
This year Manitoba is organizing the heifer lottery project.
We are hoping to get 45 sales for the project this year. The
vouchers will be drawn and announced at Bonanza 2015
in Fredericton. To participate in this project all you need
to do is be a CJHA member- it is that easy! If you need
help signing up to be a CJHA member or have questions
regarding the heifer lottery please contact your Provincial
National Delegate.
50/50 Project
-This project will be geared by Saskatchewan this year at
Bonanza.
-There will be a draw every evening at Bonanza in hopes of
being a success again this year!
CJHA Calendar Project
Quebec is looking aftter the 2016 Calender Project. If
interested in advertising in the 2016 CJHA Calender,please
contact your respective National Provincial Delegates.
Business cards are $60.00 at full page ads are $600.00.
Fact Sheet
Ontario is excited to take on the job of updating the Fact
Sheets this year! We hope to make exciting and informative
guides for youth! Keep a look out for the updated “Fitting”
fact sheet and for the new “Governance: How to Run an Effective Meeting” fact sheet.
CJHA Auction
Alberta is excited to be organizing the auction at Bonanza
this year. If all families participating in Bonanza could bring
an item to be auctioned off that would be great! We hope
to have some of the auction items posted on our Facebook
page and website prior to the auction again this year. See
you in Fredericton!

Provincial Reports
British Columbia
Heather Fisher-LeBlanc
First of all, congratulations to the OJHA on a job well done. Bonanza 2014 in Lindsay, Ontario was
a great success. British Columbia had three juniors attend, and they all had a great time. Heather and
Catherine were joined by Allie and Natasha Barsby and were very excited to see some interest from younger
members, and we are very excited to be sending a few juniors out to Fredericton.
We hosted a junior show at the 2nd Annual West Coast Hereford show in Aldergrove on September 13th
at North Bluff Farms. We had twelve juniors attend representing all age categories, and are very excited to
continue this event next year.
In March, for the first time in five years, BC was very excited to have two juniors representing the
province as National Delegates thanks to Billy Paul! It was a great meeting, and we are very excited about how
the CJHA is continuing to evolve to meet the needs and wishes of the Junior Hereford members in our country.
Alberta
Brandon Fraser
The AJHA had a meeting at the Medicine Hat Pen Show December 19, 2015. At the meeting we
started planning for the 2016 Bonanza to be held at Olds Alberta August 9 to 13, 2016. Also we discussed
where and when the provincial summer show would be held. It was decided that our provincial summer
show will be held at the Wetaskawin Agricultural Society in Wetaskawin AB. This show will be held in
conjunction with the Alberta Hereford Association’s Annual General Meeting.
Saskatchewan
Morgan Millham and Morgan Heidecker
So far this year we have held our annual meeting at Agribition to elect our executive and new
national delegates. It was decided and voted upon that myself (Morgan Heidecker) and Morgan Milham
will be the new SK Junior Delegates. Next was places for executive- Makenna Heidecker is now the SJHA
president, vice president is Emma Nicholas, Secretary is myself, Treasurer is Michelle Hordos and our
Junior Advisor is Karen McKim.
Our Beef-a-rama show will be in Glenavon on July 25th this summer.
On March 6-8 we attended the CJHA National Meeting. We discussed the future plans for the
CJHA and Bonanza in Fredericton. We have decided on July 31st 2015 that aerosols would be allowed for
the grooming show and for the steer and heifer shows. Aerosols on any other day are prohibited. We hope
everyone has a good calving season and that many of your Junior attend Bonanza this year!

Hoping calving season went well for all! The OJHA has started off 2015 with exciting plans for Beefa-Rama 2015. The show is to be held from June 26th to 28th at the Norwood Fairgrounds. In conjunction
with the Junior weekend, we are thrilled to have the very respected Lance Leachman on the 27th for a
Livestock Selection Workshop. We invite all Ontario Juniors to try and make it out to the fun filled weekend!
Another date we would like members to keep in mind is for the Annual General Meeting to be held at the
Holiday Inn Waterfront in Peterborough on April 10th and 11th. It’s a great opportunity for members to
get more involved with the board and our decisions! Any Juniors looking to expand their herd are invited
to check out the East Central Zone’s Whiteface Classic Sale Saturday May 9th at 1:00 p.m. at the Lindsay
Fairgrounds. Ontario is also excited to be making plans to attend Bonanza in Fredericton. For any members
thinking of making the trip, contact Justin McLaughlin or Cassandra Gorrill for any questions. We’d be
more than happy to help you out. Don’t forget all the MOE shows and showmanships to be had at all the
fairs this upcoming summer and fall!
Wishing everyone the best of luck with breeding season and show season and hope to see you around
at all the exciting events!

Makenna Heidecker is 15 years old and is the youngest of four kids to
Lyal and Michell Heidecker on Triple H Farm. She attends Three Lakes School, in

Bonanza is time management skills, being creative with grooming animals,
leadership and teamwork skills, and of course making new friends. Makenna believes the best thing about Bonanza is
the lessons you take away and the friends you make. Makenna is happy to be a part of the SJHA and one day hopes to
be a SJHA National Delegate.

in 2014 with her Dad where she won first place for her speech about Marie
Antoinette. Her first bonanza was in Brandon in 2013. She would love to attend
in 2015 but has decided to go to Quebec on a train with her Mom instead. She
has big plans to make it to Bonanza 2016. She is active in 4-H and spends her
after school hours bottle feeding twins, loving up her heifers’ calves and eyeing
up possible new show heifers. This will also be her first year with a steer in 4-H.
When Kennedy is not helping on the farm, she keeps very busy with swimming lessons, drama classes, and
archery. She has recently taken up trapping with her Auntie Heather Manns and thinks that she could save money for
her Quebec trip if someone would pay her to mole trap this spring and summer. She enjoys taking care of animals and
sometimes thinks she would like to be a veterinarian when she grows up; Or a Volcanologist; Or a surfer…if she wasn’t
so afraid of sharks. She despises watching her brother play hockey, and names all of her heifers and steers after famous
musicals, singing sensations, or volcanoes.
Kennedy has met so many new friends through the Junior Hereford Association and through 4-H. The
provincial MB Hereford juniors are fantastic role models who make Kennedy feel like part of an extended family.
There are many show dates and bonanzas in Kennedy’s future!
