The 2025 Holiday Classic is scheduled for November 1–2, 2025, at the Cadence Bank Center (formerly the Bell County Expo Center)!

For 34 years, the ORIGINAL Holiday Classic livestock project clinics and livestock shows have provided a free, hands-on educational opportunity for new and inexperienced families involved in livestock projects. The goal is to teach the essential principles of livestock management—including facility maintenance, selection, nutrition, animal health, handling, showmanship, and transportation—while promoting the ethical care, development, and exhibition of livestock. Participants must attend the educational clinics on Saturday in order to show on Sunday.

We’re also excited to once again host the Broiler Workshop with the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Poultry Science Department! The workshop will take place on Saturday, November 1, during the species clinics.

This event is completely FREE for all who attend. We look forward to seeing you in Belton for the 34th Annual Holiday Classic!
