âš¾ From the Farm to Home Plate.

A quality meal begins long before it reaches the plate. At the 43rd All-American Certified Angus Beef® Cook-Off during the 2026 National Junior Angus Show, Angus juniors stepped up to the plate to showcase their cooking skills, creativity and knowledge of the Certified Angus Beef® brand.

Through skits, recipes and presentations, contestants connected the work happening on family farms and ranches to the exceptional eating experience consumers enjoy every day.

âš¾ Bases Loaded, Hearts Full.

At the 2026 National Junior Angus Show, Angus juniors proved that some of the biggest wins happen outside the show ring. Through the Angus Impact Project's Penny Wars fundraiser, NJAA members and their families raised more than $11,000 for the Colon Cancer Foundation.

From spare change to lasting change, every contribution helped support awareness, education and research while honoring those personally affected by the disease.
