Junior Takeover — Sibling Support on the Farm and In the Ring

Nearly all of Kolton and Kinleigh Grim’s Angus memories include each other. The siblings started showing Angus cattle at a young age, and their partnership began.

In a flurry of National Junior Angus Show (NJAS) competition, the Grims paused to share their tips for preparation and advice for making the most of the experience. HOSTS: Miranda Reiman, Mark McCullyGUESTS:Kolton and Kinleigh Grim, Beaver Creek Angus, have been involved in their family’s Thomasville, Pa., cattle herd from very early ages.
