Juniors

Junior members are the future of the Pennsylvania Jersey Cattle Association. Therefore, we want to make their time as youth members memorable, as well as worthwhile and inspiring for a future career.

Youth 19 years-of-age and younger are eligible to participate in youth activities sponsored by the PJCA. Pennsylvania juniors represent one of the largest, most active state junior Jersey clubs in the country.

Memberships are available for $5 per year to youth. Youth whose family or farm are PJCA members are already youth members.

Each spring, junior members gather for their youth awards recognition, held in conjunction with the PJCA annual meeting. This banquet honors their accomplishments in the last year, as well as allows them the opportunity to purchase Registered Jerseys in the Pot of Gold Sale held during the event and compete for prizes in the ensuing production contest.
