Those 19-year-olds who knows more about EBVs than most people twice their age? They exist in Youth. Age doesn't determine expertise, curiosity and education do. Some of the sharpest genetic minds in our industry are currently under 25 and just getting started so don't underestimate young people.

Not every Youth member is loud, competitive, or naturally confident. Some of our most valuable contributors observe quietly, ask thoughtful questions, and process information deeply before speaking. Our youth programs need introverts as much as extroverts because different personalities build stronger communities.

Didn't grow up on a farm? Neither did some of our most passionate Youth members. City backgrounds bring fresh perspectives, different problem solving approaches, and no bad habits inherited from previous generations. Agriculture needs people who question why things are done in certain ways. You're not behind, you're different.

Emerging northern beef leaders are invited to apply for an exclusive, behind-the-scenes supply chain experience.

Angus Australia, in partnership with the Northern Territory Cattlemen's Association (NTCA) and Teys Australia, is calling for applications for the 2026 Northern Beef Leadership Initiative, Find Your Northern Edge Program, an immersive leadership and supply chain tour designed to develop the next generation of industry leaders.

Running from 26–30 October 2026 in Queensland, the program will bring together 12 young professionals (aged 18–40) for a fully hosted experience exploring key stages of the beef supply chain, from feedlot and processing through to export and global markets.

Angus Australia CEO Scott Wright said the program provides an important opportunity to broaden industry understanding.

Let's give a shoutout to Youth members who started in a completely different career before finding their way back to cattle...

The accountant who quit city life. The nurse who missed the paddock. The engineer who realised numbers meant nothing without livestock. Your detour makes you more interesting.

The impact of the Award doesn’t stop with those who have won.

For Zanda McDonald 2024 Award NZ winner Nancy Crawshaw, the Zanda McDonald network has helped shape not only her own thinking, but opportunities for other young people coming through the industry too.

“Through the Zanda McDonald Network, every youth event I’m involved in at Angus Australia has been elevated.

From farm visits and guest speakers at the GenAngus Future Leaders Conference to welcoming Indonesian participants at the World Angus Youth Competition, the connections built through the Zanda McDonald Award have opened doors and created richer experiences for young people passionate about agriculture."

For Nancy, the biggest shift has been her mindset.

“Being a part of the Zanda McDonald Network has given me real confidence in my own path.
When you’re surrounded by people who look at agriculture from every angle, with that helicopter view, it pushes you to think bigger, challenge your own beliefs, and see where you can make an impact.”

And that’s where the real value of the Award network shows.
