The All-American Dairy Show and Premier National Jr. Show return to Harrisburg for the 59th year at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex and Expo Center. The event features four days of competitions from Sunday, September 17 through Wednesday, September 20, highlighting more than 1,500 youth and adult contenders from across the U.S. showing the best of seven dairy cattle breeds, and competing in judging and youth development critical to the future of a vibrant dairy industry.

“Pennsylvania dairy farmers and their peers across the U.S. are intensely proud of what they do and how well they do it,” Pennsylvania Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding. “There is no better arena than the All-American Dairy Show for seeing excellence in breeding, management skills, and cow care. More importantly, it’s a chance to see tomorrow’s dairy industry leaders display their skills and learn from the best of the best.”

“We have another top-notch event planned and we’re excited to welcome dairy enthusiasts from across the country to join us in Harrisburg,” said All-American Dairy Show President Michelle Cornman. “We look forward to showcasing our junior exhibitors and seeing some of the best cattle in the country on the shavings, while offering learning opportunities and enjoying the fellowship of friends.”
