Livestock Fund

MD State Livestock Circle Logo

The Maryland State Fair Livestock Fund was created to promote and support youth livestock exhibitors at the Maryland State Fair. 

The fund aims to increase premiums for livestock exhibitors each year and create year-round educational opportunities for the youth.  

The youth involved in livestock shows are the leaders who will run our businesses and shape our government, our state, and our country in the future.
We must show our youth we believe in them and stand behind their solid work ethics. We hope you will partner with us to celebrate our hardworking youth by donating!

There are several ways to donate!
