What a weekend! ❤️🐮🐑🐷
The 2026 Spring Classic Livestock Clinic & Show was a huge success, and we truly cannot thank everyone enough for being part of it.
A massive THANK YOU to our clinicians, judges, volunteers, sponsors, parents, and exhibitors for helping make the weekend possible. Events like this truly take a village.

Most importantly, thank you to the kids. Watching young exhibitors work hard, ask questions, support each other, and step into the ring with confidence is exactly why we do this.

📸 We know there were lots of great photos taken throughout the weekend — please be sure to tag the Sonoma-Marin Agricultural Association in your posts and stories so we can see and share them!

We are already excited about the future of the Spring Classic and can’t wait to continue building this event in the years ahead. 💚
