Saturday, August 2, 2025
Sarah Beth Callicott, a National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) member from Only, was awarded the $2,000 Bluegrass and Buckeye Scholarship at the 2025 Vitaferm® Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) Scholarship, Award and Maroon Jacket Ceremony July 17 in Louisville, Ky.
The Bluegrass and Buckeye Scholarship is a collaborative effort between the Kentucky and Ohio Hereford Associations and HYFA. Each year, they award a $2,000 scholarship to an exceptional NJHA member. The scholarship aims to cultivate future leaders in the Hereford breed and the beef industry.
“HYFA seeks to support and nurture junior Hereford breeders by providing the opportunity to earn scholarships to support their post high school education goals, training to be leaders and education in all facets of the agricultural industry,” says George Sprague, vice president of the HYFA board of directors.
During the 2025 JNHE, HYFA awarded more than $50,000 in scholarships to exemplary Hereford youth and will allocate more than $200,000 throughout the year to support junior members in their academic pursuits.
Callicott is a senior at Tennessee Tech University majoring in agricultural education. As she explored career options one passion stood apart – passing her love for agriculture down to her future students. More specifically, she aspires to establish a Hereford show team at her future agricultural program.
A member of the NJHA for five years, Callicott is currently serving on the NJHA board of directors. Her passion for the Hereford breed and commitment to young people are unmatched, and her dedication to making a positive impact in their lives reflects that ambition.
“Since 2018, my family has proudly walked Hereford cattle into the ring and shown with passion and a love for the breed,” Callicott said. “I am proud to carry that passion into pursuing a degree in agricultural education and giving my students the same opportunities I once was given.”
