Our livestock program offers a wide range of classes for exhibitors of all levels, featuring beef cattle, sheep, goats, swine, poultry, and other farm animals. Open to both commercial and purebred entries, these classes provide an opportunity to showcase quality livestock, compete for cash prizes, and connect with the agricultural community.
The Beef Cattle division highlights top animals through a variety of classes, including a $500 Jackpot Heifer Class and a Jackpot Cow-Calf Class, along with championship awards and showmanship competitions for all ages. Special classes for 4-H members are also included, encouraging youth participation and development.
Additional divisions include Sheep, Goats, Swine, Poultry, and Other Livestock, each offering multiple classes based on age, breed, and type. Exhibitors can also compete in commercial display classes, where presentation, animal care, and educational value are judged.
With cash prizes, sponsored awards, and recognition presented at Awards Night, this program celebrates excellence in livestock care, presentation, and agricultural education.
