American Salers Junior Association

The American Salers Junior Association (ASJA) began in 1983. The founders were young people who wanted to increase involvement of youth with Salers cattle and develop an interest in beef cattle agriculture.

Seven national junior directors govern the ASJA membership. With extensive ideas, these directors plan national programs and activities for the membership.

The ASJA, like the Salers breed, is growing rapidly and commanding it's own high degree of profile

The ASJA is developing progressive programs for active members for the future. Members today will be industry leaders of tomorrow!

ASJA Mission Statement

We believe that through leadership, education and support of our breeders, we can develop members, enhance the Salers breed and be an asset to the Agriculture Industry. Our purpose is to involve and educate our junior members to develop future leaders for the Beef Cattle Industry while representing the Salers breed and the cattle industry.
