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 year's show will be held on September 21, 2024.
The fairgrounds are easily accessible off of I-90 in south central Minnesota. 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.
Show entries are due September 7, 2024. See more details below.

We have brought the NCHCA Show and Sale together in 2024 to make this a centerpoint event for the year. If you have never consigned animals to one of the NCHCA sales in the past, we hope you will consider consigning this year. There is a lot of promotion going into this sale to draw quality buyers. Participating in the sale is a great way to grow awareness of your farm and genetics. Consignments close on August 11, 2024. If you have questions on consigning, you can visit the sale website at HighlandSale.org or email [email protected].
