The Youth Show is held annually at the Festival on Saturday.
The emphasis of this sheep show is education and fun. Participants must preregister to receive premiums and a Sheep and Wool Festival t-shirt. 2026 information will be coming soon. Each participant is limited to one entry per class with a maximum limit of three animals. The show schedule follows the class list on the entry form.
All sheep must have a Scrapie ID Tag in their ear. All sheep must be individually identified by a legible, permanent, metal, or plastic tag. Out-of-state sheep must also have a veterinarian-documented health certificate. Rabies vaccinations are highly recommended. All sheep will undergo a health check before off-loading.
Bedding is not provided. Youth are responsible for cleaning out their pen and surrounding area before they leave the fairground, so it is helpful if you bring a wheelbarrow, fork, etc. Youth will also be asked to disassemble and stack pens.

No vehicles are allowed on the grounds after 8:30 am and must be moved to the parking lot.
