The Same Great Purpose

The American Angus Auxiliary offers familiar opportunities to support the breed.

Full Circle Online Auction

The “Full Circle” name reflects the idea of the Angus community supporting itself across generations — breeders, businesses, families and youth all contributing to the future of the breed. The auction is a webbased market where Angus breeders, families and allied industry can make a substantial contribution to help ensure the sustainability of the Auxiliary’s ongoing support of the Angus breed and its youth.

The online auction will be hosted Nov. 5, 2026, at www.AngusLive.com. Proceeds will support the Auxiliary’s mission, including breed promotion; breed education; and youth development through programs, awards and scholarships.

The Auxiliary is currently seeking a wide variety of items with a fair market value in excess of $100. Auction categories include Angus memorabilia/collectibles, games/toys, vacation packages, home décor, cattle services and other useful items.

The auction typically includes a wide variety of items: Angus genetics (semen and embryos), semen tanks, ranch equipment and livestock supplies, Angus-themed artwork and western décor, Angus Journal advertising packages, jewelry and leather goods, Certified Angus Beef ® products and packages, and more.

Certificate of Achievement application

The Certificate of Achievement is a recognition program that encourages youth participation beyond the show ring, rewards leadership and educational involvement, helps juniors build résumés for scholarships and future opportunities, and tracks accomplishments that also contribute toward the National Junior Angus Association’s (NJAA) Bronze, Silver and Gold awards. The Auxiliary describes the program as a way to recognize “outstanding achievements” of youth across North America and are part of the Auxiliary’s longrunning mission to support youth involved in the Angus industry.

The certificate honors juniors who excel at the national, state, district or regional level. Eligible achievements can include: champion or reserve champion Angus cattle, showmanship awards, judging contests, carcass contests, scholarship and royalty competitions, educational contests, NJAA Bronze, Silver and Gold awards, leadership positions, and more.

A junior may receive one certificate per year based on achievements from Oct. 1 of the previous year to Sept. 30 of the current year.
