It is that Time of the year!
With Summer officially here that means the 77th Annual McDowell Junior Livestock show is just around the corner. This show is open to any North Carolina youth that has not surpassed their 21st birthday as of January 1st, 2023.
The 2023 Livestock Show will be held Friday, August 4 and Saturday, August 5 at the McDowell Agricultural Center, Inc., 188 Ag Services Drive, Marion, 28752. This show is a great show for both new and experienced exhibitors.
Applications open June 28, 2023. There have been a few changes made to the show this year. This year we will be going by the ages of the Catawba Valley Youth Showmanship Circuit. The age ranges are as follows for all species:
Pee-Wee 6 & under
Novice 7-8
Junior 9-11
Intermediate 12-14
Senior 15-18
Senior Plus 19-21
The entry fees have also increased this year, you will no longer have to pay for showmanship separately unless you have a kid who ONLY wants to participate in showmanship.
Beef and Dairy: $20 per animal
Sheep, Goats, Swine: $15 per animal
Chickens, Ducks, Rabbits: $5 per animal
Showmanship ONLY: $10 per class
Another change that has been made is that Beef and Dairy heifers are the only ones showing by birthdate. Steers, Sheep, Goats and Pigs will all be shown by weight.
