Wooster, OH -- The 17th Annual Texas Longhorn show was staged at the Wayne County Fairgrounds at Wooster, OH, July 19 under the careful planning of President Tim Mills of Perryville, OH.
Registered Texas Longhorn cattle sparred for championship awards with 56 International Texas Longhorn Association approved classes offered including 3 cross-bred classes. Contestants came mostly from Ohio, but also several from Indiana and Kentucky.
Judge for the show was ITLA approved training judge, June Cohron DVM, of Stuarts Draft, VA.
Unique classes included early starters "Pee Wee" classes, Youth Halter, Open Halter and Non Halter. Unlike other breeds, ITLA shows are popular for the Non Halter classes where cow/calf pairs, exhibition steers and all ages of registered cattle show freely in the show arena. Unlike traditional shows where cattle are clipped, trimmed, placement corrected with show sticks and especially fitted, each animal is judged casually in the arena. Judging evaluation takes into consideration poise, disposition, mothering ability, travel, as well as all other points of purity and conformation.
Tempters Trophy won Grand Champion Female at the 17th annual Ohio River Valley Texas Longhorn Assn show held at the Wayne County Fairgrounds. She was raised and exhibited by Dickinson Cattle Co LLC of Barnesville, OH. President of the ORVTLA is Tim Mills of Perrysville, OH.
The crowd in attendance was believed to be the largest of the previous shows. President Mills has already contracted to use the Wayne County Fairgrounds again for the 2015 event.
The All Age Grand Champion Non Halter Female was Tempters Trophy, a 2009 daughter of Tempter exhibited by Dickinson Cattle Co, LLC of Barnesville, OH. The All Age Champion Halter Steer was AA Clever Oliver, a 2009 steer exhibited by Gail Beach of Huntington, IN.
