The JCSP Royalty is a prestigious title that requires young ladies to ride for the brand, and make appearances all around our area. They must be able to represent us on a local and state level. In some cases, they will move on to national titles. The JCSP Queen Contest judges will have tough decision to make with the amount of talent we have in this year’s contest.
The 2024 JCSP Queen Contest is sponsored by the Johnson County Livestock Exchange.
