Where Agricultural Roots Shine
The livestock shows at the Placer County Fair are where tradition, hard work, and community pride come together. Each year, local 4-H and FFA exhibitors proudly showcase the animals they’ve raised and cared for, reflecting the dedication that defines Placer County’s youth. It’s a chance to witness the heart of our fair’s agricultural history.

A Celebration of Youth & Agriculture
Walk through the barns and meet the animals—rabbits, poultry, goats, sheep, swine, and cattle—all cared for by our hardworking youth. Cheer on the exhibitors during the showmanship classes and learn about the agricultural traditions that have shaped our community. Whether you're supporting a young exhibitor, introducing your kids to farm animals, or reliving childhood memories, the livestock shows are a must-see experience at the fair.
Support Our Future Farmers
The livestock auction is where the hard work of the exhibitors pays off. Support local youth by bidding on their animals, which will be showcased in the auction and sold to the highest bidder. It's an exciting, community-focused event that contributes to the future of Placer County’s agricultural legacy and supports the exhibitors as they continue their educational and farming journeys.
