Digital Showgrounds

Welcome to
Virtual cattle battle

The Virtual Cattle Battle was created to promote high quality cattle and the showman that have bred and raised them. Plus we want to raise some spirits and have some FUN in this time and see how far we can spread the joy we have for our livestock shows across the WORLD!

This is a family-friendly event and it's purpose is to entertain our community's passion for this tradition and way of life. We can still get out and have fun with our animals and feel the excitement of competition again. It's the thrill and the drive in the heart of the exhibitor that makes us want to organize these events and we hope your participation and time working with your youth and their animals helps bring everyone closer.

We aim to showcase and praise the hard work put in by the youth of the stock show world by creating straightforward virtual show classes using today's digital technology to bring them to the spotlight. We are finding the nations best judges that are donating their time and knowledge. We are honoring the experience we all want for our kids in the fairgrounds and actual show rings and these events are not meant to replace those moments. Here the countless hours working in the barn come to life for the Nation to see and our kids don't miss a showing season!

This year, we paid tribute to our local Ohio livestock showing families throughout the state and held our premier online judged livestock show to give our show kids a new and unique opportunity to show from home during this tough time. This challenge created the opportunity to provide this experience and make the best out of all the hours of work, and practice in the barn.

Participation and celebrating each others' hard work, having fun, and enjoying our livestock has always been what showing has been about and from these situations we can learn and grow stronger together as a community and be an example.

The show WILL GO on

Livestock shows all over the world both large and small are being cancelled due to recent public health restrictions and it doesn’t just affect the show kids and families that have worked so hard. Cancellations of livestock events of all types will leave entire livestock judging teams without the opportunities to compete in their special events and showcase their abilities. We were privileged to have the Ohio State Livestock Judging Team donate their time and knowledge in the latest Ohio Show. We gladly do this for the organizations, families, and kids that are our livestock showing lifestyle and we give all proceeds back to the organizations and non profits that keep this tradition alive. We hope to be back in the fairgrounds again too - but until then and as long as we can provide a place to show - we'll be here!

GOOD LUCK!
