KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Landry Allan, Nocona, Texas, won grand champion female Oct. 25, at the 2025 American Royal junior Hereford show in Kansas City, Mo. This year’s show was held in conjunction with the 19th annual World Hereford Conference and international Young Breeders Competition (YBC). Much of the YBC took place at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kan., Oct 19-22, before traveling to Kansas City Oct. 22-25, for the WHC and remaining competition, which concluded with a team fitting and showmanship contest at the American Royal.

Chris Mullinix, Manhattan, Kan., evaluated the 90-head show.

“What a crowd, what a venue and what an experience this has been for me,” he said before selecting the female champions. 

Allan’s grand champion female, BACC 241 Haley 472, is a Nov. 17, 2024, daughter of UPS Sensation 2296 ET from the senior heifer calf division. Ty Pezanoski, Peru, Ill., and HAWK Priya 11M ET, claimed reserve grand champion female honors. The Feb. 24, 2024, daughter of H The Profit 8426 ET was also named the champion junior yearling female.
