A Grand Coulee teen attended a four-day national conference on Angus cattle in Seattle Aug. 6-9.
The annual Leaders Engaged in Angus Development event brings together National Junior Angus Association (NJAA) members from across the nation to learn about leadership development, agriculture and what life is like in other parts of the country.
Among the 110 members attending the event for 14- to 21-year-olds was Katie Emerson, of Grand Coulee.
The event exposes youth to varied aspects of agriculture. They saw a shellfish farm and a distillery operation on a 25,000-tree, family-owned orchard, among other sights.
