Welcome to the ORVTLA Youth PAge

The Ohio River Valley Texas Longhorn Association Youth Program is committed to educating and inspiring the next generation of Texas Longhorn enthusiasts. Through hands-on experiences, leadership opportunities, and family-centered events, our youth members learn the values of responsibility, sportsmanship, agriculture, and community involvement while building lifelong friendships along the way.

Our program encourages young people to become actively involved in the Texas Longhorn industry by participating in shows, educational activities, public speaking opportunities, and ranch experiences that help develop confidence and leadership skills both inside and outside the arena.

Whether youth are new to the breed or have grown up around Longhorn cattle, ORVTLA provides a welcoming environment where families and young exhibitors can learn, grow, and succeed together.
