Showmanship Winners

The National Junior Angus Showmanship Contest is sponsored by the American Angus Association and the pewter bowl awards are given by the Auxiliary.

The National Junior Angus Showmanship Contest is one of the most prominent and challenging showmanship contests in the cattle industry. Originally organized by Dean Hurlbut to encourage young men and women to become interested in showing Angus cattle, the top showman award is accordingly named the Dean Hurlbut Award.

Participants are chosen to attend the contest by their respective state Angus associations. Two participants are allowed to represent each state. Contestants may compete for the title of champion showman only once. The contest has two parts.
