The Georgia Junior Cattlemen's
Association is again sponsoring a great contest and scholarship
opportunity. The 6th Annual Beef Industry Scholarship Challenge will be

GA. High school juniors and seniors from any state in NCBA's Region II
(GA, AL, MS, LA, FL, NC, SC, and TN) are invited to enter the
competition. New this year: Freshmen and Sophomore students may compete
as junior teams. Ten teams will be accepted in the competition, with
preference given to Georgia residents. Teams will consist of three
members and can be juniors and/or seniors in high school as of January
