Registration for the 2026 Cattlemen's Classic Judging Contest is OFFICIALLY OPEN! Jump on early bird pricing for just $25/person until August 30th!

Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 31, 2026, because we're bringing together the next generation of agricultural leaders for a day of learning, competition, and community unlike any other.

When Cattlemen's Classic was first founded, the goal was to create more than just another judging contest. It was to build an event where every contestant, whether it's their very first contest or they're competing at the highest level, feels encouraged, challenged, and inspired. Cattlemen's is about pursuing excellence, investing in the next generation, mentorship, building confidence, growing your knowledge, making lifelong friendships, and discovering opportunities within the beef industry.

Whether you've judged for years or have never stepped into a contest before, there is a place for you here. Bring your teammates. Invite your friends. Challenge another county. Load up the vans, and make a weekend of it! Let's fill the barns with future cattlemen and cattlewomen who are passionate about agriculture and ready to make a difference. We can't wait to see you then!

At the heart of the Cattlemenโ€™s Classic is our commitment to cultivating a welcoming, family-friendly environment where youth, adults, and entire families can learn, grow, and compete together. Whether you're just starting out or have years of experience, this contest is designed to provide entry-level opportunities alongside real-world exposure to the beef cattle industry.

Participants can expect a dynamic judging experience that goes beyond traditional judging classes in an effort to provide them with real-world experience and insight. 

This yearโ€™s contest will feature:
- Live cattle evaluation classes

These hands-on components are designed to spark curiosity and expand knowledge across multiple sectors of the industry from genetics to carcass quality.
We believe strongly in mentorship and educational development. That is why the contest is open to all ages, with divisions clearly outlined at www.CattlemensClassic.com. Whether you're a first-timer, looking to fine-tune your evaluation skills, or get together with your college judging teams, this is a perfect opportunity to connect with experienced industry leaders and fellow contestants who are eager to share what theyโ€™ve learned.

๐ŸŒพ Happy National Farmerโ€™s Day! ๐Ÿšœ

When you get dressed in the morning, eat breakfast, head to class, or sit down for dinner, agriculture has already played a role in your day. But how often do we stop to think about the people behind it all?

๐Ÿ‘– Fun fact: One bale of cotton can produce more than 200 pairs of jeans or 1,200 T-shirts!
๐ŸŒฝ Corn is used for more than food. It also plays a role in livestock feed, fuel, and countless everyday products.
๐Ÿฅฉ From the beef on our plates to the cotton in our clothes, agriculture touches nearly every part of our lives. In fact, agriculture, food, and related industries contributed approximately 5.5% of the U.S. economy in 2023.

But behind every crop harvested and every animal raised is a farmer or rancher making decisions, adapting to challenges, caring for the land, and working to provide for others. Their work depends on weather, markets, science, technology, and countless hours of dedication that most consumers never get to see.

Growing up in agriculture has taught me that farming is about so much more than producing a product. Itโ€™s about stewardship, resilience, family, community, and providing for the next generation. Every single one of us depends on it.

As Miss Northeast Texas, my platform is Empowering and Equipping the Next Generation of Agriculture Leaders. I believe the future of agriculture depends not only on supporting todayโ€™s producers but also on helping the next generation understand where their food, clothing, and everyday necessities come fromโ€”and inspiring them to be part of the future of this industry.

To the farmers and ranchers who work tirelessly, often behind the scenes, to feed, clothe, and provide for our communities: thank you! Your work matters more than you know, and our future depends on you. ๐ŸคŽ
