The Victoria Livestock Show is set to celebrate its 80th anniversary in February 2026, commemorating eight decades of agricultural dedication and youth engagement in the region. This longstanding event has served as a platform for members of 4-H and the Future Farmers of America (FFA) to showcase their hard work and commitment to agricultural excellence, while also fostering community support for the next generation of agricultural leaders.
Since its inception, the Victoria Livestock Show has highlighted the efforts of young exhibitors who demonstrate their knowledge and skills in livestock management and agricultural practices. Each year, the event draws families, volunteers, buyers, and sponsors, all of whom play an essential role in sustaining this cherished community tradition.
