Description
Every January hundreds of youth exhibitors travel from across the country to Sioux Falls to compete in the Sioux Empire Livestock Show, with only 25 market livestock exhibitors qualifying to sell their animal during the Sale of Champions. In 2024, more than $127,000 in premiums was paid out to these exhibitors that will allow the exhibitors to continue their livestock showman career and further their post-secondary education.
The Sale of Champions is an opportunity for the Sioux Falls business community and regional advocates to dust off their boots and break out their cowboy hats as South Dakota’s largest city salutes the state’s largest industry, agriculture. Get together with your friends and co-workers for a steak dinner, and support youth exhibitors from around the nation!
