JUNIOR A.I. PROGRAM
A Program of Planned Genetic Progress for the Future - Produce a Champion!
The American Hereford Association Youth Department has implemented a plan with cooperating progressive breeders throughout the nation to provide youth with a rare opportunity to have access to the genetics of the breed's leading sires.

As a program participant, you'll have the opportunity to choose from a wide array of bloodlines and breeding programs including prominent herd sires, current national champions and regional show bulls of the year. Most importantly, you receive the semen and breeding certificates ABSOLUTELY FREE. As a matter of fact, your only cost would be an AI technician and shipping charges if necessary.

This is a unique, long-range program to encourage youth to study and develop a plan involving sound management techniques in an effort to establish their own genetically sound breeding program.

Take a look ... you might just breed a champion.

It's a Simple Procedure

1. Become a junior member of the American Hereford Association if you aren’t already.

2. Show your female at any qualifying junior show. That includes any Hereford sanctioned junior show, or regional shows and state association field days that follow national junior rules and send exhibitor information to the AHA Youth Department.

3. During the following calendar year as when the heifer is shown, nominate her to the Youth Department before January 15. The semen and certificate does not have to be used on the heifer that was nominated.

4. Regardless of when the nominations are received, all will be held until January 15, after the year shown, at which time they will receive equal consideration for their requested sires.

5. Once a certificate has been approved, pick up the semen at the storage point and proceed as usual. Junior member is responsible for all semen shipping charges.

6. Registration of the offspring is handled by normal AHA procedures for calves conceived by artificial insemination. Standard membership registry rates apply.

The Sire Owner

1. Has on file with the AHA an agreement to participate with such agreement furnished annually.
   a. Bulls eligible to participate are those that have met AHA requirements necessary to quality for purchase of non-owner AI certificates.

2. Donates not more than 25 junior AI certificates per owner and agrees to provide at least two units of semen per certificate.
   a. Since ownership of registered Herefords is limited to four owners per animal, if all owners of a sire wish to participate with each owner donating the maximum there could be semen equivalent to 100 junior AI certificates per sire available to junior breeders in a single year.
   b. Special junior AI certificates will not affect the annual quota of regular AI certificates that sire owners may purchase for resale.

3. Agrees that the AHA randomly assign which junior will receive semen.
   a. Junior certificates and semen will be allocated on a national basis, or upon written request will be allocated only with the same AHA field territory wherein the participating sire owner resides.
   b. Sire owner may request that semen be assigned only to horned juniors or only to polled juniors.

Act Now
Nomination forms and a current list of available sires can be obtained on December 1, from the American Hereford Association, Youth Activities Department, Box 014059, Kansas City, MO 64101
