Description of Arizona National Livestock Show Inc
The Arizona National Livestock Show is the largest Livestock Show in the Southwest, an annual Phoenix tradition since 1948. We take pride in our reputation as a prestigious Show with an atmosphere of warm hospitality. Membership in the Arizona National provides the financial foundation of our success. Premium awards paid to Junior and Open exhibitors at last year's Livestock Show totaled over $66,000. Exhibitors traveled from 16 states across the country, bringing nearly 2000 head of the nation's best cattle, horses, sheep, goats, and swine to enter the competition. We sell 150 of the highest placing market animals at our Junior Market Auction on January 1st each year. The Auction motivates Junior Exhibitors to excel in their livestock projects and offers them an opportunity to reap a financial reward for their efforts. A portion of the Sale proceeds benefit the Arizona National Scholarship Program for college level students, one of the means by which we fulfill our mission to provide support for upcoming generations of agricultural entrepreneurs. The Arizona Ranch Events include a Ranch Team Competion, a Arizona Working Ranch Horse Competition and a Arizona Commercial Replacement Heifer Show and Sale. Entries in all these Ranch Events are limited and by invitation only. The Cowboy Classics Western Art and Gear Show Exhibit is held in conjunction with the Livestock Show. It is a showcase of the rich and unique life of the American cowboy presented through many forms of art, including painting, bronze sculptures, leather and silver work and a variety of other mediums. A display of Ranchers history and memorabilia is also on exhibit in the Cowboy Classics Gallery. Arizona ranching families and other organizations with roots in ranching and agriculture provide the displays, which attract the attention of both urban and rural spectators. Cowboy poetry and music can be enjoyed at various events throughout the Livestock Show. Families will enjoy the Farm Experience, which provides an interactive educational opportunity by bringing the farm to the city, and is especially geared toward kids. Farmer-For-A-Day, Ag Magic Show, pedal tractor races and a petting zoo are all part of the activities. The Li'l Buckaroo Rodeo is a favorite for everyone, featuring 4-6 year old boys and girls attempting, and often succeeding, to ride a lively, wooly sheep for five seconds. The Arizona National Horse Show has long been part of Arizona National events. Since 1998, when we moved the events to the WestWorld equine complex in Scottsdale, the Horse Show has experienced significant growth. We offer equine competitions for various interests including an American Quarter Horse Show, a 4-H/FFA Horse Show and a Saddlebred Show. The 2010 Horse Show events are scheduled for early January, 2010.
