- **Event Name**: Jasper County Jr. Livestock Show
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 27 Mar, 2026 at 08:00 am – Sat, 28 Mar, 2026 at 10:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: The Jasper County Jr. Livestock Foundation is proud to announce that the 2026 JCJLS will be held on March 27 &amp; 28 at the Jasper County Jr. Livestock Pavilion located at 1920 FM 777 across from the Jasper Airport.  This will be the 48th year of the livestock show!

The Jasper County Jr. Livestock Foundation and Show has a long history of supporting the 4-H and FFA members of Jasper County that began in 1978.  In those days, the livestock show was held a few days before the annual Jasper Noon Lions Club Rodeo in May at the rodeo arena, and the grand champions were featured during the rodeo.  The year 1986 saw a significant change for the JCJLF when the Foundation leased land from the county located on FM 777 in Jasper and built a new show barn with donated materials and all volunteer labor and moved the show to April.  

The JCJLF moved to the present location across the road on FM 777 in the 2000s and built a rodeo arena and concession stand.  The foundation began giving scholarships to deserving seniors who had participated in the livestock show and who may not qualify for scholarships otherwise in 1995.  All proceeds from the concession stand go into the scholarship fund.  The foundation also moved the show dates to the last weekend in March.

Exhibitors show a variety of livestock which included steers, heifers, and bulls, pigs, lambs, broilers, and rabbits.  Goats were added in the 1990’s as well as an Agricultural Mechanics show for students who were unable to show animals.  Commercial heifers were the most recent project addition in 2014 with emphasis on showing Brahman influenced cattle that commercial producers in the area are looking for.

This year, through a partnership with the Jasper County Agrilife Extension Office, a Home Economics Contest has been added for this year.  The events are Baking, Canning, Sewing/Needlework, Fine Arts, and Photography.  These items will be judged on March 26, 2026, at the Jasper County Annex Building.  A silent auction will be set up during the sale for a selection of items from these contests.

Students may participate in the show by being members of either 4-H or FFA and must reside in and/or attend school in Jasper County.  Brookeland, Jasper, Kirbyville, and Buna have 4-H clubs and FFA chapters include Jasper, Kirbyville, Buna, and Evadale.  

The JCJLF is a volunteer organization with members who donate their time and money yearly to ensure that exhibitors have a great experience.  Many of the members were themselves exhibitors and have joined the foundation as adults to continue the great tradition of the livestock show for their own children and the current generation of exhibitors.  Community support is vital to the livestock show through the buyers who purchase projects or donate supplies and equipment. 

This year the livestock show will kick off on Friday, March 27, with the market broiler show at 8 am, market and open breeding rabbit shows at 9:30 am followed by the Ag Mechanics show at 11 am, the market goat show at 1 pm followed by the market lamb show at 30 minutes after the conclusion of the market goat show.  The market pig show will close out the evening at 5 pm.  

Saturday, March 28, the commercial heifer show begins at 10 am followed by the market steer show and open junior breeding beef show.  All species have junior and senior showmanship contest for the exhibitors to show off their skills following the conclusion of each show.  

MD Creations will once again be the official photographer for the livestock show this year.  Megan Dunn Diehl is an East Texas native who grew up showing livestock and has photographed several livestock shows across the state.  We are excited to welcome back Megan and her team to our show this year. 

The concession stand will open at 7 am both mornings and close after each evening’s events end.  The menu includes breakfast tacos and quesadillas, and sausage biscuits for breakfast and hamburgers, cheeseburgers, chopped beef BBQ sandwiches, link sandwiches, and Frito pie for lunch and supper.  Many people have said that we have the best hamburgers and BBQ around.  We will also be selling a program this year for $10 which will be available at the concession stand.

This year we will have vendors at the show set up beside the concession stand building.  A variety of items will be for sale.

The Clover Kid show is one of the highlights of the event and will be held at 3:00 pm.  This show is for children 3-8 years of age who are not yet old enough to show an animal project but want to be included.  Many of these children have older siblings who are already showing animals.  Past clover kids have shown dogs, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, steers, heifers, and even a frog.  It is always a treat to hear what these youngsters have to say about their animals.  

 The scholarship recipients will be announced at 4:30 pm.  Many former scholarship recipients have gone on to successful careers because of the lessons learned from participating in raising an animal and/or an Ag Mechanics project for show. 

The livestock auction will begin at 5 pm.  This year, there will be a BBQ dinner and social hour beginning at 4 pm for our registered buyers before the sale.  You do not have to be a business owner to participate in the sale.  Many individuals and businesses add money on to projects during the sale.  This year add-ons for individuals need to pay the night of the show to be announced. We will have a credit card machine available to receive credit card payments on the night of the sale to make it easier to take payments.

Students use their earnings from the livestock auction to fund their college savings accounts and to use them toward the purchase of their next project.  Many of these projects are yearlong projects and these exhibitors work hard to present their animal in the best possible way. 

The JCJLF would like to invite the public to come out and support our 4-H and FFA exhibitors on March 27 and 28 at the Jasper County Jr. Livestock Pavilion.
