Benefits of Being a Member?

It is four days of action-packed events hosted by alternate provinces throughout Canada every summer. Click Here For More Information

Heifer Lottery

Annually a lucky few members are drawn from active members to receive certificates that can be redeemed at sanctioned Hereford sales or from sanctioned breeders for the purchase of a registered Hereford heifer. Click Here For More Information

Semen Donation

CJHA conducts a draw annually to award donated semen to juniors who enter and nominate their females. This is a great opportunity to improve youth's breeding program by having access to free semen to artificially inseminate their own females from some of the top bulls in the industry.

Leadership Opportunities

The CJHA is headed by a National Council comprised of two elected representatives and one adult advisor from each of the provincial Junior Hereford associations. From the 14 elected representatives a president, vice-president, secretary and communications officer are elected. The delegates are responsible for organizing and administering the many projects of the association.
