“From exhibiting as a junior, to being on the national junior board, to now having my children participating at the junior nationals, there have been so many memories that will last a lifetime. The JNHE is so much more than a cow show. The people you meet along the way and the skills you learn will stick with you.” – Bill Doig, 1998-2000 National Junior Polled Hereford Council director
