❤️ What a great opportunity to nominate your favorite parent/influencer!

Please read…KIDS THIS FOR YOU!
We have exciting new to share. The SMJS is rolling out a brand new award for the 2026 year-end banquet. You won’t want to miss out on this opportunity! Of course…we have PRIZES! Great PRIZES 🪎🪎🪎

We know that every showman has an adult that encourages them along the way and helps/inspires them with their project. These might be the people who get you to she shows or see that you have feed for your livestock each week. This could even be someone who is always ringside watching you show. Parents, grandparents, leaders, family friends…literally anyone who has a positive impact on you is game! We want to celebrate that special person in your life! Take a moment to look at this award and submit your nominee TODAY!

Winners will be selected in four age groups: novice, junior, intermediate, and senior. Applications are due by August 25. All contest details can be found in the application link. Please reach out for all questions!

Wow—what a show! After finally thawing out and warming up, we want to give a huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us this weekend in Lebanon!
We had top-of-the-line livestock and even better kids exhibiting them. The numbers say it all:
• 187 hogs
• 39 goats
• 80 lambs
• 125 head of cattle
We are incredibly grateful to our amazing show committee and volunteers, our judges Rob and Slone, our photographer, announcer, and all of our food vendors for making the weekend run smoothly.
A special thank you to our sponsors:
Letterman Feed, Signeffx, Heritage Bank of the Ozarks, D&K Roofing, Diamond W Land & Cattle, Windsor Farms Angus, Minor Limousine, DAVID Layman Insurance and All N Supplements!
And a huge shoutout to Signeffx for the banners, metal signs, and their generous sponsorship of our grand overall prizes—they knock it out of the park every year!
None of this would be possible without you and your families. We are truly grateful for everyone who showed up and supported our event.
The countdown to next year starts now!
