nchca annual open show
and junior show

september 18, 2021


The North Central Highland Cattle Association hosts a ​regional show including a junior show each fall. Held at the Mower County Fairgrounds in Austin, Minnesota, the show is a super points show allowing exhibitors to earn extra points toward the AHCA Roll of Excellence program.  ​

This show prides itself as being a family oriented show with Junior show, Junior activities, and educational activities. The show venue offers space for vendors and non-show exhibitors by making room for all Highland cattle breeders and enthusiasts to come and promote their wares in the spacious 100 x 200 foot cattle barn.

The fairgrounds are easily accessible off of I-90 in south central Minnesota.  

​Austin is also home to the SPAM Museum – second biggest tourist attraction in Minnesota.

We look forward to seeing you at the show!
