The American Royal celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2024 and added a Spring Youth Livestock Show. With the American Royal being deeply committed to inspiring and developing talent for food and agriculture, we are excited to bring this back in 2025.

New this year and thanks to a generous donor, we've added $2,000 to the prize money for our champions and reserves across all species!

Don't miss this amazing opportunity where youth exhibitors are celebrated, and champions are crowned.
