The 33rd World Expo will feature the Texas Longhorn Breeders Association of America’s World Show, the National Texas Longhorn Breeders of Tomorrow’s Youth Show, the Texas Gold Futurity, Membership Meeting, Awards Banquet and so much more! Entries continue to be strong for the 2019/2020 show season. Thank you to all who participated and helped promote the Texas Longhorn breed in the show ring, the barns, and on social media.
Invitations will be mailed out to World Qualifying exhibitors beginning in April. To receive a qualifying invitation, an exhibitor must have exhibited and placed 1st or 2nd in an affiliate or major show throughout the year. There are still a few shows left to get your animal qualified – check the show calendar for an event near you! Remember – invitations are sent to the listed OWNER of the animal so, TLBT members need to check with their animals’ owners to receive the qualifying information. The Longhorn Expo is much more than a show. It is a celebration of friendships, breeding programs, hard work and, of course, Texas Longhorns. This 4-day event features numerous activities and learning opportunities for Longhorn enthusiasts of all levels.
keep a record book for the year and give a speech in front of judges. Quiz Bowl tests exhibitor’s knowledge, from agriculture, current news, and health topics. The TLBT General Membership Meeting is the perfect time for youth to get involved as well as the election of new officers. The inaugural Premier Exhibitor Award was presented for the first time at last year’s event. The competition proved to be popular with participation from all four youth divisions. TLBT members earn points by competing in livestock classes, showmanship, livestock judging, quiz bowl, photography and Gold Merit. To be eligible, a youth must compete in ALL events. The high point youth will win a gorgeous show box sponsored by Deb Lesyk, Cody Himmelreich, Trigg and Traci Moore, and Kevin and Laury Rooker. Don’t miss this great opportunity!
