2026 National Junior Shorthorn Show & Youth Conference

The Oregon Junior Shorthorn Association is excited to announce and support the upcoming 2026 National Junior Shorthorn Show and Youth Conference! This premier event brings together Shorthorn and Shorthorn Plus youth exhibitors from across the country for a week filled with competition, education, and friendship.

The National Junior Shorthorn Show isn’t just about showing cattle, it’s about building leadership, knowledge, and lifelong connections within the Shorthorn breed. Exhibitors participate in contests such as showmanship, livestock judging, photography, quiz bowl, and speech competitions, along with educational workshops and community-building activities designed to inspire the next generation of agricultural leaders.

Each year, this event highlights the best of the breed and the dedication of junior members, families, and breeders who make it all possible. As we look ahead to 2026, the OJSA is proud to help promote participation and support for this national event, encouraging Oregon youth to take part in this incredible opportunity to represent our state and the Northwest region on the national stage.

Stay tuned for updates on fundraising efforts, travel planning, and ways you can help our OJSA members attend the 2026 National Junior Shorthorn Show and Youth Conference. Together, we can make sure Oregon’s Shorthorn youth shine!
