The 26th annual ITLA Ohio River Valley Texas Longhorn Assn show is coming fast. This is going to be a good one. No one who appreciates Texas Longhorn cattle will even consider the thought of missing this great Ohio show. It is a clean facility, quality people, wonderful cattle, and an all around enjoyable event. Beautiful cow girls, old crippled people, crazy slightly uncontrolled kids, occasional lost tourists, and ITLA members all trying to keep the herd moving. Entries are expected from Ohio, Texas, Indiana, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.
The Judge selection committee has picked Keith Berkeley DVM of Ranson,
West Virginia as the Open Show judge. Keith has been involved in raising, showing and judging Texas Longhorns since 1994. He is a practicing veterinarian and a major producer of quality Texas Longhorns in the East.
The halter show will be judged by past ITLA President Mike Tomey of Bedford, IN, one of the leading Longhorn producers in the Mid West.
If you have cattle and would like to win the big trophies, and you are from California, Canada, Florida, New York, or Cuba, you're also welcome to compete -- see how easy it is to beat the Ohio folks. There are over 80 approved classes for all ages of cattle, halter, non halter, youth, showmanship, and ITLA even provides for a performance class for riding steers.
