livestock fairs
Rural auction events
Livestock fairs are agricultural events where farmers and breeders gather to buy, sell, exhibit, and judge animals such as cattle, sheep, pigs, and poultry.
These fairs combine commerce with competition—animals are evaluated for breeding quality, and prizes awarded to the best specimens.
County and state fairs typically include livestock exhibitions alongside carnival attractions: She won a blue ribbon for her heifer at the livestock fair.
