The 2025 Louisiana Junior Brahman Association (LJBA) State Show took place in New Iberia, Louisiana, and was judged by Bennie Whitworth and Clayton Bridges. Bringing together the top junior Brahman exhibitors from across the state, the event featured fierce competition and celebrated the future of the breed. Once again, BRC genetics proved to be a force in the show ring.
From division champions to home-raised bred-and-owned division winners, BRC bloodlines made their presence known throughout the event. We’re proud to highlight several champions whose success reflects the power and consistency of the BRC program.
