The 2025 Junior Sale of Champions was one for the history books. Receipts soared to a record-breaking $10 million, surpassing the previous year by an incredible $1.8 million. This milestone was made possible thanks to the unwavering dedication of the Fort Worth Stock Show Syndicate, Women Steering Business, Band of Barrows, U Ol’ Goat Committee, Ladies on the Lamb, and the Tallest Hog at the Trough Syndicate. Their passion for supporting youth exhibitors continues to change lives across Texas. Now, we look ahead to the 2026 Junior Sale of Champions, set for Saturday, Feb. 7 at 9 a.m. in the W.R. Watt Arena at the Kit and Charlie Moncrief Building. Come witness the culmination of months of hard work from young exhibitors.
