Junior Membership

The Red Angus Junior Program is the youth division of the Red Angus Society. The Red Angus Junior Program was reconstructed in 2022, when Charlotte Nugent, Harry Turnham, Maddy Telford, Angus Llewellyn and Lydia Sanders all gathered to create a Junior Committee with the focus of how Red Angus can flourish in the industry and supporting the next generation of breeders. The Junior program is independently conducted by the RASA Junior Members with assistance from the Junior Co-Ordinator’s when required.

The Red Angus Junior Program aims to offer scholarships and educational opportunities for Red Angus Junior members which to help create future leaders and industry enthusiast. The RASA Junior Membership is aimed for breeders up to 25 years of age and welcomes schools to incorporate Red Angus into their education programme.
