Every year, the Louisiana Junior Jersey Association sponsors a variety of events for participation by club members.

Grace Jacobson won the calf raffle in 2008. Her prize was this Registered
Jersey heifer calf, donated by Chappepeela Jerseys in Loranger.

In the spring, the club sponsors a calf raffle, to raise funds for activities during the year. A prize is awarded to the junior who sells the most raffle tickets.

This past year, Rebecca Pearce, Maringouin, was the high-selling junior, selling $240 in raffle tickets and earning prizes of $75 and a plaque.

Other high-selling juniors included: Ayla Baugh ($230 in tickets and prizes of $50 and a Jersey box); Delos Thompson III ($226 in tickets and prizes of $25 and Jersey stationary); Daniel Thompson ($214 in tickets and prizes of $15 and Jersey stationary); and Michael Landry ($202 in tickets and prizes of $10 and Jersey stationary).

High sellers in the 2008 Calf Raffle were Rebecca Pearce, Ayla Baugh, Delos
Thompson III, Daniel Thompson and Michael Landry.

In the summer and fall, junior members participate in a number of shows, including local parish shows, district shows and the state show. Several members also exhibit animals at the All American Junior Jersey Show, held every year in November, in Louisville, Kentucky.

As well, Louisiana State University sponsors an expense-paid trip to the Mid-South Junior Jersey Fair for the 20 juniors whose animals are selected to represent the state at the show. The Fair is held in Memphis, Tennessee, in early October.

This year, for the second time, the junior association awarded the Dusty Perry Award at the Louisiana State Livestock Show for the best fitted animal. In her first year of competition, Annabelle Kimbrough won the contest and received a buckle. Other juniors who earned prizes were: Zack Swain ($50 prize), second; Joyce Shattuck ($25 prize), third; Braden Williams ($15 prize), fourth; and Sarah Shattuck ($10 prize), fifth. The award's namesake, Dusty Perry, won seven consecutive showmanship competitions, culminating his senior year in 2006.

The annual meeting is held after the state show each year. This is the largest gathering of junior members. Club officers are elected and a queen and princess are chosen.
