Blair County Jr. Livestock Show and Sale: The three best days of the year!

August 16-18, 2026

The Shows:

Sunday August 16th, 5PM Market Rabbits

Monday August 17th, 9AM Market Goats, 1PM Dairy Beef, 4PM Market Lambs

Tuesday August 18th, 9AM Market Hogs, 12PM Market Steers

This is an opportunity for the youth members to showcase the learning and work that has gone into raising a livestock project animal. The satisfaction and pride in a job well done is evident on the faces of these young men and women when the judge shakes their hand and congratulates them on having the prize winning animal! And the resolute determination to try harder, learn more, practice longer and ask more questions is seen on the ones who were not so lucky this time around.

You will be amazed at the level of competence, professionalism and sportsmanship as these kids show off an entire year’s work and learning! Stop by and chat with the young people hanging around the barns, or working with their animals. The atmosphere is magnetic, you will want to be a part of this!

The Sale: Where all the hard work pays off!

Tuesday August 18th, 4PM at the Morrison’s Cove Memorial Park Barns

One at at time, members enter the sale ring, present their animal to the crowd, and smile hopefully as the auctioneer begins calling out bids. With the generosity of the buyers and a little luck, the member will receive a good price for their animal. They will be able to pay expenses for this year, save enough to purchase next year’s animal and hopefully have a little something to put in the college fund!
