Barnyard Showcase

2026 Information Coming Soon!

Back this year is an expanded competitive large animal livestock program thanks to a partnership with our friends at the Sonoma-Marin Agricultural Association, 4th DAA. We are thrilled to have local 4-H and FFA members exhibit their market and breeding animals in the Barnyard Showring each day of the Fair. Come watch these young people compete in the showmanship competitions, which will kick off each day’s livestock show, followed by market and breeding classes, in which the judges will evaluate the animals that they have proudly raised.

Wed, July 2, 5pm Swine
Thurs, July 3, 2pm Sheep & Goats
Fri, July 4, 2pm Dairy Goats
Sat, July 5, 2pm Beef Cattle
Sun, July 6, 2pm Dairy Cattle*
* At this time, there is a statewide ban on Dairy Cattle shows due to the H1N1 virus. Show is contingent upon ban being lifted at fair time.
