Miller Elected To AJHA
KANSAS CITV Mo For the
second time, a Pennsylvania Junior
Hereford brecdci has been elected
to a seat on the American Junior
Hereford Association board of di
rectors.
Fmilie Millet, the 17-year-old
daughter of Mike and Sheila Mill
er, lulpehockcn Township, won a
thiee-vear term on this national
board, following in the footsteps of
Curt Stockdale, Armstrong Coun
ty, who held a director’s seat in the
mid-IWOs while a student at Kan
sas State University.
Miller joins three other young
Hereford breedcis in winning seats
on the 12-member board. The other
successful candidates are young
men who hail from North Dakota,
Alabama, and New Mexico. Miller
is not the only young woman on
the board, however. The junior or
ganization's president is a young
woman from Missouri, and there
are three additional female direc
tors from 1 exas, Georgia, and
Kansas.
Flections arc nothing new to
Miller, who serves as president of
her state Junior Hereford Associa
tion, \ice president of her senior
class at I ulpehockcn High School,
vice president ot hci school's Na
tional Honor Socict> and the Tul

Finihe's campaign for national
office began earlier this summer
when she attended the Junior Na
tional Hereford Expo in Sioux
Falls, S.D. Inters lews, hard work,
and determination helped Emilie
make an impression on youths
from across the country during a
record-breaking heat wave that
tested the attitudes of cattle and
exhibitors. Miller kept her cool dur
ing the w'eek-long event that in
cluded interview sessions with cur
rent board members, adults, and
other juniors who fired industry-re
lated questions at the candidates.
“1 his experience helped prepare
me for the final campaign at oui
2002 National Junior Hereford As
sociation PRIDE Convention, held
in Kansas City. Mo., last month,"
Miller said. “ The convention brings
young Hereford enthusiasts from
across the United States together
for a weekend full of motivational
speakers, contests, workshops, and
fun activities, designed to help us
get to know each other
better."
Miller was one of
eight candidates for the
National Junior Here-
ford Association Board
Each candidate was re-
quired to speak to the
entire voting delegation
on several occasions, re
sponding to questions
and sharing their goals
if elected.
"I wasn't sure what
to expect when I got to
Kansas City,” said Mill-
er, who admitted she
was more nervous when
she was waiting outside
the conference room for
her turn to speak than
when she was in front
of the crowd. “I let ev
eryone know how much
enjoy raising and
showing Hereford cat-
tle, and that I want
more young people to
have this opportunity. I
have met so many peo
ple during the seven
junior national shows I
have attended since
1995. I only missed one
during that time, when
it was held in Montana,
but 1 participated any
way and was honored
to win first-place in the
poster contest in the
senior division.”
Miller has won nu
merous Hereford hon-
ors over the years, most
recently winning first
place in the photo con-
test at PR IDF and
earlier this summer re-
ceiving the Junior
Golden Bull Award, an
Emilie Miller
award given to an active member
of the National Junior Hereford
Association who excels in partici
pation in local, state, and national
events and activities.
“It was a great honor to receive
this award from the N.IHA and the
American Heieford Women," said
Miller. The national Junior Golden
Bull Award is given to youth mem
bers in grades 9 through 12, with
one individual in each grade being
honored from the entire junior
membership in the United States
and Canada.
Some of the duties Miller will be
expected to carry out in her role as
national director include promot
ing the Herefoid breed, motivating
other junior breeders, and assisting
the senior association in conduct
ing numerous shows and events
across the country. The experience
Miller gained in Sioux Falls when
she helped organize a 1,000-head
Hereford show, getting exhibitors
to the show ring on time and mak
ing sure junior activities ran
smoothly, will benefit her as she
fulfills her lifelong dream of serv
ing on the board. Her duties started
immediately as she assisted at the
American Royal show in Kansas
City in October, and as she pre
pares to travel to Denver, Colo, for
the National Western Stock Show
in January.
“I’ll be selling my Farm Show
lamb and then boarding a plane to
get to the national show,” said
Miller. “Unfortunately, because of

Four Grazing Conferences
Planned In New York State
COBLESKILL, N.Y. Spon
sored by the Cornell Small Farms
Programs, a series of livestock
grazing conferences will be con
ducted around New York State
during the first week in February
2003.
The conferences will feature
Jim Van Der Pol and Janet
McNally as keynote speakers as
well as programs designed by
local farmers. They will take
place on February 5 in Cobleskill;
February 6 in Dryden; February
7 in Newark; and February 8 in
Madrid.
Jim Van Der Pol has a diversi
fied livestock farm in Minnesota,
Hereford Show at the 2003
Farm Show that has been
stretched over two week
ends, I’ll have to lease my
cattle at home this year. It’s
disappointing since I was
looking forward to experi
encing the new exhibition
hall and all the improve
ments that Secretary Sam
Hayes and Farm Show Di
rector Dennis Grumbine
have achieved."
Miller won't have much
time to feel sad, however,
since her national duties will
keep her traveling across the
country to national shows,
field days, and conferences.
This summer the Junior
Hereford Expo will be in In
dianapolis, Ind. She will be
exhibiting a bred and owned
heifer and steer at this event.
Miller owns 35 head of regis
tered Herefords under her
own “ECM” prefix, keeping
them on her parents’
150-acre farm in western
Berks County.
“I am excited that my
race for national office has
put me in the driver’s seat in
helping to determine the fu
ture of the Hereford breed
for my generation. It is a
dream come true.’’

In addition, he writes the “Con
versations with the Land” col
umn in the magazine Graze.
Janet McNally is also from
Minnesota where she raises
sheep. Janet tried farming with
several types of animals before
settling on sheep as the best for
her resources. Both Jim and
Janet will explain how they use
grazing, and will share how their
operations have evolved to where
they are now.

speakers, each conference loca
