New in 2024, the Canadian Red Angus Promotion Society invited junior Red Angus members from across Canada who are showing Canadian registered Red Angus females to apply for the program.
The society set up three regions within Canada and awarded jackets to the winner in each region. To qualify, juniors could accumulate points at 4-H shows at any level, jackpot shows, regional junior and Angus shows. Points were awarded for participation and championships.
The 32 participants were also entered in a draw for $1,500, which was won by Lexie Dietrich. She purchased a female at the 2024 Red Roundup with the help of these funds.
