Oregon Junior Shorthorn Association

Supporting the Future: Proud Sponsors of the Oregon Junior Shorthorn Association

At M&M Shorthorns, we are incredibly proud to support the revival of the Oregon Junior Shorthorn Association (OJSA). Once a member myself, I know firsthand the value this association brings to young cattle enthusiasts. Now, as a breeder and mentor, I’m excited to help today’s youth reach their highest potential — both in the OJSA and the American Junior Shorthorn Association (AJSA).

The Shorthorn breed holds a rich history in the Pacific Northwest. While there are now fewer breeders, those who remain are dedicated to producing quality cattle and preserving the breed’s legacy. With this dedication comes an incredible opportunity for young people to step into the world of agriculture — learning, growing, and building lifelong skills.

Our mission is to foster the promotion and improvement of the Shorthorn breed while actively encouraging youth to engage in livestock and agricultural advocacy. Through mentorship, education, and hands-on experiences, we aim to equip junior members with the tools they need to succeed — both in the show ring and in their broader agricultural endeavors.

We invite you to become part of this exciting journey to rebuild and revitalize the Oregon Junior Shorthorn Association. Whether you’re a young exhibitor, a breeder, or simply someone passionate about the future of agriculture, your involvement is crucial. Together, we can celebrate the legacy of Shorthorns in the Pacific Northwest while empowering the next generation of agricultural leaders.

Join us today and be part of something special — the return of the Oregon Junior Shorthorn Association!
