The Chatham County Livestock Show will be held Saturday, September 9th, 2023, at the Chatham County Agriculture & Conference Center located at 1192 US Hwy 64W Business, Pittsboro, NC 27312. The show is open to all youth that have not reached their 19th birthday prior to January 1, 2023. All youth under the age of 8 (including Cloverbuds aged 5-7 and Pee Wees under the age of 5) will NOT be judged under competition, but will exhibit non-competitively and receive a participation ribbon. Exhibitors will automatically be entered into their showmanship classes.

Exhibitors are limited to 2 sheep (wether or ewe) and/or 2 beef heifers and 1 steer. The animals must be under the exhibitor’s care.  If an exhibitor has more than one animal in the same class, another exhibitor or person can show the additional animal after notifying show officials.

All Cloverbuds will show non-competitively. If another showman who does not already have 2 animals in a species would like to show a Cloverbud Showman’s animal in type classes, please list the animal on the registration forms of the showman. This change will not be accepted the day of the show.

Show officials reserve the right to arrange classes as needed.

All animals must have an official health certificate signed by an accredited veterinarian or approved state or federally employed veterinarian. All lambs must have a USDA Scrapie tag in place. Those animals that do not have a tag will have to leave the show grounds. 

The registration deadline is August 9, 2023 for non-circuit youth.   The registration deadline is 5:00 p.m. on July 14, 2023. Late registrations will not be accepted.
