The Pennsylvania Junior Holstein Association is home to 300+ young Holstein enthusiasts, ages 9-21. Become a Junior Holstein member today in order to participate in 20+ contests including Dairy Bowl, Dairy Jeopardy, public speaking, and more! Junior membership is also necessary to be recognized as a junior showing at PHA sanctioned shows.
Not only will a junior membership enable one to compete in contests and shows, but it will also allow them to create lifelong friendships and connections with other youth across the state who have the same interests in the Holstein breed and the dairy industry!

Drive to Excellence, Caleb McGee Memorial Award
Caleb McGee was a Pennsylvania Junior Holstein member who was lost too soon in early 2020. Not only was Caleb a passionate dairy enthusiast and dedicated showman, he was also a talented singer and active community member. In 2022, the “Drive to Excellence, Caleb McGee Memorial Award” was started to honor the legacy of Caleb. The recipient of this award is recognized at the Premier National Junior Show where they receive a plaque and cash award. We hope to continue to honor Calebs legacy for many years and recognize deserving junior members.
