LIVESTOCK EXHIBITS
Each year, the Northeast Florida Fair hosts hundreds of livestock entrants. The animals you'll see during your visit represent the best our communities have to offer and reflect the hard work, dedication and love each farmer puts into raising his or her livestock. We can't wait for you to see our 2019 livestock exhibits!
