In 2026, St. Martin Parish Livestock program continues to thrive with over 193 animals entered. Livestock program trends include an increase in cattle numbers with over 30 head of beef and dairy cattle expected to show. In addition, 50 hogs, 30 chickens, 20 goats, 6 sheep and 10 rabbits are slated for exhibition. This year’s show will be judged by Tyler Barlow, Central Region Livestock Specialist with the LSU AgCenter.
