Come and watch one of College Royal's longest running and most popular events in the Clinical Skills Building!

Experienced and novice students have put countless hours of work into training and preparing their animals for the chance of becoming Champion. Come on out and enjoy watching the skills of exhibitors bringing out the best in sheep, beef, dairy, and horses.



 Horse Show: Saturday, March 15, 2025 at 8am
 Sheep Show: Saturday, March 15 at 12pm

 Dairy Show: Sunday, March 16, at 8am
 Beef Show: Sunday, March 16 at 12pm

Want to participate?

​All students are welcome to sign up. Both experienced and inexperienced people are welcome. The students that have no background in showing animals are placed in groups and receive help from experienced show persons to learn how to properly show their animal. Then students spend a few weeks training their assigned animal before the show. On the day of the show, the competitors are placed in novice and experienced heats according to their background experience. The preliminary heats are run in the morning followed by a lunch break. Then in the afternoon the Championship show for each animal is followed by a Grand Championship show.

There are 4 categories  of animals you could show including:
  • Sheep
  • Horse
  • Beef Cattle
  • Dairy Cattle
 Note:  All of the animals are provided.

Champion and Reserve Champion winners will participate in an All-Around Show (showing all animals shown on that Show day, plus a mystery animal).

Participation Fees:
  • $20.00 per student for 1 show
  • $15.00 per student for each additional show
  • Participation fees include a participant t-shirt
Notes: All participants to this events must fill out special waiver forms. There will be mandatory barn meetings. Participants will be contacted regarding their location, date and time.

Animal Owners/Farmers:
We use a combination of university-owned and privately-owned animals in the show. For beef and dairy heifers, we must now depend entirely on local farmers lending us their animals due to changes in university policy.
