Hey there, NEHCA Breeders!

​

We are excited to host our 2026 NEHCA Annual Meeting at Sheppard Farms in Hanover, PA this year. Usually our meeting is in the fall, but to support our national American Highland Cattle Association's National AHCA Gathering, travelling to our neighboring regional association, our NEHCA Annual Meeting will be held during the event- a great way to meet breeders from across the United States. 

​

Please note, our hour-long NEHCA Annual Meeting & the Vendor Fair are free to attend (you must fill our Google Form below), but if you are participating in any additional National AHCA Gathering activities, you must RSVP by Monday, May 18, 2026 to the National AHCA Gathering event (RSVP to National AHCA Gathering with AHCA, not with NEHCA). Also, complete our Google Form by 5/18 so NEHCA can submit our meeting headcount to provide to our host farm. 

 

Sheppard Farm is generously allowing multiple regional associations to hold their annual meetings at their farm during the National AHCA Gathering. Please be respectful and follow the AHCA Gathering RSVP rules and RSVP on time (by May 18th) to attend. 

 

Please RSVP to make sure you are included in the headcount so our generous host farm know will know who will be attending our meeting and arriving at their farm.
