Youth Activities
ALCA Junior membership is easily affordable and open to any young cattle enthusiast, who is aged between 8 and 21 years. We also have a membership category for schools that are interested in using Lowline cattle in their agricultural programs.
Many junior members throughout Australia, New Zealand and the United States already own and operate their own studs. Lowlines are moderate in size, easy to handle and have ideal temperaments for younger people, helping them to gain management skills and confidence.
ALCA Youth programs are organised for student and junior members, some involving interstate and overseas travel opportunities. These activities provide an opportunity to learn handling, show presentation and animal husbandry skills which develop friendships, teamwork, confidence and responsibility as well as meeting people of your own age with similar interests.

♥ Exciting News for ALCA Youth!
Hi everyone! We’re Matilda and Katelyn, and we’re thrilled to share that we’ve just taken over the ALCA Youth Facebook page. This space has been quiet since 2017, but we’re bringing it back to life.
Here’s a little bit about me (Matilda). I’m 17 and have been involved in cattle showing for 6 years, starting with Shorthorns, then Angus, and now Australian Lowlines. My passion for cattle began through school, and it’s grown into something that I’m really proud of. I’ve been lucky to have so much support along the way, especially from my family and the people I do cattle with, including Katelyn. I’m really excited to be stepping into an admin role with Katelyn by my side and being part of a page that focuses on educating, supporting, and encouraging youth within the Lowline community.
Here’s a little bit about me (Katelyn). I’m 16 and I’ve been showing cattle for 5 years starting with my school show team, then numerous cattle studs, which led to my sister and I starting our own Australian Lowline stud in 2024. I’ve been very fortunate to have a group of like minded people supporting and mentoring me throughout my cattle showing journey (including Matilda). I have a strong passion for Youth in Ag and am extremely grateful for the opportunity to encourage and support others alongside Matilda.
Our goal is to make this page an inclusive space for young people passionate about Australian Lowline Cattle. Expect updates on events (such as the Youth Incentive Program), stories from members/mentors, and educational resources.
Yes we help run this page but it’s a place for all ALCA youth members to share their knowledge and ideas.
We’d love to hear from you! Drop a comment or inbox the page to introduce yourself and share your ideas for ALCA youth.
We look forward to getting to know you all and learning together in the future.
Merry Christmas!
Matilda & Katelyn

It is great to see our youth Lowline members showing cattle and attending clinics.
