The 2018 Faces of Leadership conference is in Modesto, California August 1-4. The NJHA is excited to be visiting Sierra Ranches and several different agricultural businesses this year, as well as some famous landmarks. To start off the event this year the participants will have a chance to step off the bus onto the Golden Gate Bridge and the next day visit the capitol and California Cattlemen's Association. The event will wrap up with a bay cruise where participants will get a chance to see a different view of San Francisco.
Hereford Prep Collection is proud to be a member of the Foundation One Club which helps support educational and leadership opportunities for Hereford youth. 1% of all of our proceeds go back to the Hereford Youth Foundation of America which helps fund the Faces of Leadership conference. At Hereford Prep we want to provide unique opportunities for young people to learn more about agriculture, and Faces of Leadership is one of the best opportunities.
]]>National Shows
I think it goes without saying, you'll find me sporting my favorite Hereford Prep gear at any livestock show, but especially the national livestock shows. National Western Stock Show and Forth Worth in January? Yes! NJHE? Duh! You are guaranteed to look cute and show off your Hereford pride with any of the Hereford Prep gear!
Chore Time
What better way to hide your messy hair than to throw on a Hereford Prep hat for morning chores? I know I don't look my best in the mornings, so I grab a hat on the way out the door and hope the cattle don't mind.
Annual Meetings
It's meeting season, y'all. I want everyone at whatever annual meeting I’m attending to know how much I love my Herefords, so I wear my favorite Hereford Prep shirt. And you know I'm going to get plenty of compliments on it!
Football Game
For maximum cute AND comfy, tuck a Hereford Prep shirt into a cute skirt, add boots, and you've got yourself the best outfit at the tailgate! Everyone will want to know where you got your adorable shirt.
The Grocery Store
I love using reusable cloth bags at the grocery store, but I can't ever find one that really fits my personality – until Hereford Prep came along. These tote bags are perfect for carrying groceries home, and there are two different styles, so you only have to make one trip. Also, let’s be real – I carry this tote everywhere!
Country Concert
We all love a good country concert, right? Put on your favorite Hereford Prep shirt and your favorite pair of cowboy boots, pair it with a statement necklace, and sing along!
On the Road
I spend more time than I want in my car driving to cattle shows, so might as well deck out my car with pretty stickers. Be loud and proud about your Hereford love and stick a Hereford Prep sticker on your back window for everyone to see!
There’s a Hereford Prep item for any and every occasion. Besides being super cute, the Hereford Prep clothes and accessories are so comfortable, and I’ll use any excuse to wear them. From hats, totes and stickers, to shirts of all kinds, Hereford Prep is your one-stop shop for the cutest Hereford gear. Show off your Hereford pride in style!
]]>Wardrobe:
1. Jeans—we think this one is pretty much a no-brainer, but you might want to double-check to make sure you grabbed the pair that isn’t a total wreck. You might want to grab 2 pairs while you’re at it.
2. Shirt—Grab your favorite Hereford Prep shirt. Not only is it a great way to show how much you love those red and white cattle, but they are comfy and provide just the right amount of style. You’ll be neither overdressed or underdressed in these shirts!
3. Shoes—Running around kids and cattle all day calls for comfortability. Don’t compromise.
4. Hat—Maybe you had full intentions of doing your hair until…. Maybe you’re in the midst of a bad hair day, maybe you just don’t feel like messing with your hair, or maybe you just like wearing hats. Whatever the case, pack one. We suggest one of our Hereford Prep hats to go with that cute shirt you already packed.
5. Accessories—let your individuality shine and sparkle! We promise it’ll make you feel a thousand times better and put together.
6. Loungewear—while we don’t suggest wearing this to the show, we do highly suggest packing it…you know, on the off chance you do get to relax. We know, what does that word even mean?
Now that you’ve gathered everything needed for your wardrobe (don’t forget the small items like socks…without holes), it is time to put it all in a bag.
Pro tip: pack the night before leaving so you are less likely to forget anything.
Other Items:
· Camera—we always hope the kids will do great at the show, and you have to be ready to capture that special moment. Don’t forget to check the camera battery and SD card.
· Phone & Charger—pager, GPS, entertainment, camera, mirror all built in one. It is your lifeline.
· Registration papers—keep these in a folder, and keep all important papers in it. Bring to Every. Single. Show.
· Pain Reliever—you are going to be standing all day, and headaches… well, nobody has time for that. Pack some pills just in case.
· Snacks—not just for the kids, make sure you pack something you like too. Carry them easy peasy in our Hereford Prep tote. Keep an eye on it, though, people may try to steal them…the snacks that is.
Of course, there are probably a thousand other things you may want to pack. This is a good start, though. Just remember to pack clothes that make you feel good. Oh, and don’t forget the important stuff like the cattle and kids.
]]>You simply can`t go wrong with this classic preppy accessory. Pearls are a great way to dress up any outfit, including a t-shirt. Whether you go for a simple single strand, or a layered look, you`ll always look like you really tried (even if you really didn`t).
There`s nothing like a favorite pair of boots to spice up any look! At the show, or just at home in the barn, your boots will keep your feet safe and looking stylish.
Favorite trend of this year: The fact that oversized t-shirts and Nike shorts are no longer just considered lounge wear, they are actually a fashion statement! This outfit is great for so many things; keeping cool on those hot summer days, relaxed days at junior nationals, exercising heifers when it cools off…the possibilities are endless!
Who doesn’t love a layered look? Cardigans are a great way to pull together an outfit, plus they keep you warm all day long! Pair your favorite tee with one for a look that you can wear all year long.
You can`t have a great stock-show outfit without a pair of good fitting jeans. We love the fact that flares have made a come back in the showring, plus they look pretty great paired with an adorable tee. Dress them up with boots and pearls, or go for a casual look with tennis shoes, you`re sure to get plenty of compliments either way!
