Sonoma-Marin Fair 2009 - Sustainable Agriculture

Livestock Shows

Ever been to a livestock show? This is the year to see how our county’s youth present animals they have raised all year and win the more than $37,000 in premium and prize money the fair awards each year to support youth in agriculture. For a livestock schedule, click here. Specific times also are posted at the Livestock gate and at the Main Gate during the fair.

Livestock Walk

You can also wander the barns with our self-guided Livestock Walk to see close up the animals that populate our counties. You’ll see beef and dairy cows, sheep, goats, chickens, rabbits, cavies all getting ready for their big debut in the show ring.
