1264 - module_17163 PageTitleModule moduleLarge

We are thrilled to welcome back the future of the agriculture to the Black Hills Stock Show & Rodeo®! We are dedicated to showcasing the hard work and passion of our young exhibitors. The Black Hills Stock Show-Youth Livestock Shows provides an invaluable opportunity for participants to demonstrate their skills, knowledge, and passion for livestock.

This show not only highlights the impressive animals raised by our youth but also emphasizes the important life skills they develop through their involvement in agriculture—teamwork, responsibility, and leadership. Each participant has put in countless hours preparing for this moment, and we are excited to see their hard work pay off.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to our staff if you have any questions or need assistance. We’re here to help make your experience enjoyable and memorable.

Thank you for being a part of Black Hills Stock Show & Rodeo®. Let’s make this year’s show one for the books!

YOUTH BEEF EXHIBITORS

Dear Youth Families,
We are reaching out with an update regarding the Junior Beef Shows at Black Hills Stock Show. After further consideration, we have decided not to assign specific stalls for the event as originally planned.
We understand that this may come as a surprise, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. However, we had some unforeseen circumstances come up and believe this is the best solution. We are trying to make this fair for all families at the Black Hills Stock Show.
Our plan going forward is to open Rushmore Hall at noon on Thursday, January 30th as originally planned. Stalls will be on a first come, first served basis as in the past. We will have members of our Livestock Committee present during the move-in process to ensure that people don't take more space then needed. All families that have spots in Rushmore Hall will have to park in parking lot E4 and E5. If you don't get a spot in Rushmore Hall, you will have to show out of your trailer. Your trailer will be parked in lots E1 and E2. As always, the tie outs are on a first come, first serve basis as well. You will need to provide your own straw for these pens.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
