The 2026 Show is hosting junior exhibitors from across Texas competing for awards and nearly $272,000 in premiums, including $42,436 in Junior Breeding Sheep Show premiums.
The FWSSR takes pride in providing agriculture and livestock production learning opportunities through livestock shows, judging contests and other competitions that test their knowledge and skills in areas including robotics, wildlife and habitat management, horticulture and equine care and production to name a few. Both 4-H and FFA members from more than 232 of Texas’ 254 counties are competing for premium awards, scholarships and the chance to sell their animals in the Jr. Sale of Champions. Their experiences enlighten them on the importance of natural resource stewardship and feeding a growing global population.
“Helping today’s youth become tomorrow’s leaders goes to the heart of the mission of the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo,” said FWSSR President and General Manager Matt Carter. “Regardless of where their career path takes them, the experiences and lessons learned here are invaluable.”
