🚨🐄 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT – PLEASE READ 🐄🚨

After much discussion and consideration, the Nixon Smiley Livestock Show Committee has decided to make a major change for next year’s show…

👉 ALL livestock entries will now be required to be HALTER BROKE… INCLUDING CHICKENS. 🐔

That’s right — we expect to see your broilers leading, setting up, and backing like pros. Bonus points for pivots and showmanship smiles 😄

🐖 Pigs must now respond to voice commands only
🐐 Goats must wear matching outfits with exhibitors
🐄 Cattle must learn to load themselves (we believe in independence)

We feel these changes will really elevate the competition and prepare exhibitors for the “real world.”

Please begin training immediately. Clinics for chicken showmanship coming soon.

🌟🐄 2026 NIXON-SMILEY LIVESTOCK SHOW RECAP | MARCH 13–14 🐖🌟

What an unforgettable weekend it was at the Nixon-Smiley Livestock Show! From March 13–14, we saw an incredible display of hard work, dedication, and passion from all of our exhibitors. 💙

From the youngest participants in the bucket calf show to our experienced exhibitors in the livestock and ag mechanics divisions, every single student brought their best to the ring. The barns were filled with early mornings, long days, and a whole lot of heart — and it truly showed. 👏

We had outstanding competition across all species and projects, beautiful craftsmanship in ag mech and crafts, and an overwhelming sense of community support throughout the entire event. None of this would be possible without our amazing volunteers, judges, donors, buyers, and families who make this show happen year after year.

To our exhibitors: thank you for your commitment, responsibility, and pride in what you do. You are the future of agriculture, and we couldn’t be more proud! 🌟

We are already looking forward to next year! Until then, we’ll be sharing more highlights and memories from an amazing weekend.

✨🐄 WHAT AN INCREDIBLE NIGHT AT THE NIXON-SMILEY LIVESTOCK SHOW AUCTION! 🐖✨

We are still in awe of how amazing this year’s auction turned out! From start to finish, it was a night full of energy, support, and community coming together for an incredible cause. 💙

A huge THANK YOU to all of our buyers, bidders, and supporters who showed up and showed out for these hardworking exhibitors. Your generosity and willingness to invest in these kids and their projects truly makes a lasting impact. 👏

To our exhibitors — you represented yourselves, your families, and your programs with pride. All of the early mornings, late nights, and dedication paid off, and it was so rewarding to see you shine in the sale ring! 🌟

None of this would be possible without our volunteers, committee members, and everyone working behind the scenes to make the night run smoothly. We appreciate you more than you know!

This auction is more than just a sale — it’s about supporting the future of agriculture and building a strong community. And this year, you all made it one to remember! 🙌
