Livestock Advisory Council

The council will serve as a connection between the Fair and our livestock community, providing a collaborative approach to discussing program improvements, addressing concerns, and identifying new opportunities for our youth exhibitors.

Our goal is to ensure the Stanislaus County Fair continues to offer an outstanding livestock program that promotes agricultural education, leadership, responsibility, and opportunities for future generations.

The Livestock Advisory Council will represent the interests of our entire livestock program, including beef, dairy, swine, sheep, goats, and small animals.

Council members will work together to:

• Gather feedback from exhibitors, parents, and livestock representatives.
• Discuss opportunities to improve the exhibitor experience and livestock program.
• Review proposed changes and provide recommendations to the Stanislaus County Fair Board.
• Strengthen communication between Fair leadership and the livestock community.
• Support youth development, agricultural education, and the continued success of our livestock program.

The council will consist of nine voting members representing the livestock community, livestock industry, 4-H/Grange, and FFA. Fair representatives will also participate as non-voting members.

Members will serve two-year terms and are expected to attend three scheduled meetings each year in February, April, and September.

Applications will be reviewed by the Fair Board Livestock Committee, with final appointments approved by the Stanislaus County Fair Board.

We are looking for individuals who are passionate about agriculture, committed to supporting our youth, and willing to work collaboratively to improve the livestock program as a whole.

Whether you have previously served on a Fair committee or are interested in becoming involved for the first time, we encourage you to apply.

Help us shape the future of livestock at the Stanislaus County Fair!
