The Junior Livestock Expo will take place in
Springfield over the course of two weekends in September. Beef,
sheep, dairy goats, pygmy goats and rabbits will all show
September 11th-13th. Swine, dairy cattle and meat goats will
have their turn in the show ring on September 18th-20th.
A Junior Horse Show will take place on the Du Quoin State
Fairgrounds. The show will run for two weekends on the Du Quoin
State Fairgrounds, with English showing August 29th-30th and
Western September 5th-6th.
“After the cancellations of the Illinois and Du Quoin State
Fairs we knew there was a need to recognize our junior
exhibitors who work year round preparing for the fairs,” said
Jerry Costello II, Acting IDOA Director. “We are excited to
provide modified shows that will provide an opportunity for
young adults to exhibit their animals safely following the
Restore Illinois plan.”
