NYJBPA Spring Preview Show Results
Approximately 60 juniors from across New York State exhibited over 100 head of beef at the 2026 NY Junior Beef Producers Association Spring Preview Show April 24-26th, at the Genesee County Fairgrounds, in Batavia, NY. On Friday evening, we had grilled hamburgers, sponsored by CNY Meats, and we enjoyed cornhole games. Saturday started with Showmanship in the morning, followed by a skillathon and judging contest in the afternoon. In the evening, the juniors had a meeting and pizza party, sponsored by Trowbridge Farms. Prizes for the skillathon and judging contests were announced. During the meeting the treasurer’s report was shared and discussion was started about junior committees for junior activities. Sunday morning started off with the Breeding Show, followed by the Bred & Owned Show, and concluded with the Market Animal Show. It was a busy weekend, made possible by our generous sponsors, helpful volunteers, and dedicated Junior Advisors.
