THE HEREFORD MASTERS IN MADISON |
|
|
|
We’re excited to welcome everyone to the 2026 VitaFerm Junior National Hereford Expo, “The Masters in Madison,” happening July 4–10. Our favorite family event of the summer is getting a golf-inspired twist as we come together as one Hereford family to celebrate the very best of the breed.
A tentative schedule is now available on the JNHE Resources page, along with the 2026 Rules & Regulations. All contest and award rules have been updated and are ready for review. Moving forward in the year, all password sensitive forms that advisors are required to submit for contests, events, NJHA candidate nominations, etc., will utilize the password JNHE26.
Now’s the perfect time to start preparing your state and building excitement as we count down to July. |
