North Dakota Stockmen’s Association now accepting Junior Beef Expo entries

Youth event to be held June 23-24 in Minot

The North Dakota Stockmen’s Association (NDSA) is now accepting entries for the 2023 North Dakota Junior Beef Expo (NDJBE), a multi-breed junior field day to be held June 23-24 at the North Dakota State Fairgrounds located in Minot, N.D. Celebrating 28 years, the NDJBE will feature breeding heifer, market steer and market heifer shows; showmanship contests; supreme champion selections; a silent auction; and networking opportunities. Youth will learn to compete, learn and develop friendships with others who are interested in the beef industry.

Entry forms, rules and other information can be found at www.ndstockmen.org or on the North Dakota Junior Beef Expo Facebook page. Information is also available by contacting NDSA Special Projects Director Jade Koski at (701) 223-2522 or jkoski@ndstockmen.org.

Entries are due June 1 and can be mailed to NDSA at 407 S. 2nd St., Bismarck, ND 58504. Exhibitors will receive a t-shirt and Friday supper. Late entries will be accepted for an additional $10 per head, but t-shirts cannot be guaranteed for late entrants.

A block of rooms have been reserved at the Clarion Inn, located across the street from the North Dakota State Fairgrounds. To make reservations, call (701) 852-2504 and ask for the Junior Beef Expo room block to receive the discounted rate of $95 plus tax.

The NDJBE will be held in conjunction with the Ward County Shootout, which will be held June 23. The NDJBE is sanctioned by the North Dakota Junior Point Show Association.
