Junior nationals is always filled with excitement surrounding the cattle and contests, but the underlining theme in every junior national since the creation of the event is Family! From packing all the way to breaking down the calves, everything at junior nationals happens with and because of family! Here are a few sweet moments we captured this week at Shorthorn/Maine/Chi junior nationals!
