2025 AJSA National Classic to be Held in Madison, Wisconsin
The American Simmental Association (ASA) Board of Trustees recently met in Amarillo, Texas, August 24–27, voting to hold the 2025 American Junior Simmental Association (AJSA) National Classic in Madison, Wisconsin. The event will be held July 6–12.
The AJSA National Classic draws youth from across the country to compete in cattle shows, educational competitions, and more. Due to an unanticipated scheduling conflict between the American Junior Simmental Association (AJSA) and the National Junior Angus Association (NJAA) events, the ASA Board of Trustees chose to move the 2025 show to Madison, Wisconsin, and hold the 2026 show in Grand Island, Nebraska.
A large portion of AJSA members are also involved in the NJAA, and based on member feedback, the ASA Board of Trustees felt it necessary to ensure youth have the opportunity to participate in both events.
The 2026 AJSA National Classic will be held in Grand Island, Nebraska, and the ASA and AJSA staff are excited to be working with the Grand Island organizers again. The exact dates will be determined in the future.
